6. When you use others' ideas in your paper, you should credit
them with an in-text citation. APA Style uses a kind of
parenthetical referencing called the author–date system.
As the name author–date system implies, APA Style in-text
citations include the author and date, either both inside
parentheses or with the author names in running text and
the date in parentheses. Here are two examples:
-After the intervention, children increased in the number of
books read per week (Smith & Wexwood, 2010).
-Smith and Wexwood (2010) reported that after the
intervention, children increased in the number of books read
per week.
-The "and" in Smith and Wexwood is written as an ampersand
(&) inside parentheses and as the word and outside of
parentheses, as shown in the examples above.
