Hello all,
In APA 7th edition, in-text citations must include the authors last name and the year of publication, even if you’re paraphrasing. If you’re quoting directly, you must also include the page number.
1. Paraphrased Information
(Author, Year)
Example:
Effective communication improves patient safety and outcomes (Kumar et al., 2021).
2. Direct Quote
(Author, Year, p. #)
Example:
One of the main attributes of vocal communication is being an active listener (Robles, 2012, p. 1).
Tip:
If you’re not sure how to format a citation, tools like CiteFast or Purdue OWL APA Guide are helpful. Also, reviewing the APA resources posted in class (as you mentioned) will ensure you’re meeting your professors expectations.
In APA 7th edition, when citing a source with three or more authors, you use only the first author’s last name followed by et al. in all in-text citations, even the first time.o not attach a document. Write your response directly in the discussion board.
