What is a correctly-formatted APA in-text citation?

Answer 1

Assuming you are using MLA format, in-text citations are not that difficult. My English instructor taught us to frame the information the first time it was used, like so:

In her novel The Outsiders, author S.E. Hinton points out the huge divide between classes in society, while still focusing on the human element that connects them all: "It's okay… We aren't in the same class. Just don't forget that some of us watch the sunset, too (35)."

After the source is initially introduced, your quotes and paraphrases may be cited by inserting the author's last name and page number of the book in parentheses:

"Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold (Hinton, 99)."

Answer 2

John Roach, writing for National Geographic, points out that "As [plastic bags] decompose, tiny toxic bits seep into soils, lakes, rivers, and the oceans" (47).

Answer 3

It depends on what format you are using: MLA, APA, Chicago style.

So, for a MLA formatted paper, you use The MLA Handbook.

For an APA formatted paper, you use The APA Manual.

For Chicago Style, you use The Chicago Manual of Style.

Answer 4

A correctly-formatted APA in-text citation includes the author's last name and the year of publication in parentheses. For example: (Smith, 2021). If you're directly quoting, you also need to include the page number, like this: (Smith, 2021, p. 25).
