Citation Overview
When you write an academic writing, you are bound to review a lot of previously published publications such as books and journal articles and cite the ideas, words, data and/or findings from the sources in your writing. Through this, you express and reveal your understanding on the topic. In doing so, you must not forget to attribute the sources in the correct manner in text, and in the reference list. Otherwise, your credential as a researcher will be damaged and your writing will be considered as the result of plagiarism. There is a setup style for “in-text citation” in APA, and the below summarizes the main points.
