hi yes, these videos help so much! my professor did not answer my question about citations and just referred me to the APA guide, which I expressed that after reviewing it I thought my citations were correct. He did not give me any guidance.
Thank you so much. I just started writing my papers for my Masters and was lost on where to begin. This is so helpful. Now I can actually be confident in my writing using citations.
Thank for this video. When I was in graduate we used APA and I got a lot of points taken away. Now I'm in my doctoral program I have a better understanding
Thank you for making these videos!! I've used MLA all throughout high school and early college, but A.P. Style later in college - but never APA. Now that's all I'll be using in grad school, of course. Thank you! :)
THANK You I Just wrote a paper and I figured I if I added According to in the begging of the sentence it would count as a citation, but I guess I had to paraphrase it rather than just writing the same exact thing. I definitely needed a refresher.
i don't know if my comment will be seen, but i'm struggling with the following: in one paragraph, i discuss multiple studies. if i cite an author in parantheses, and within the same paragraph i add a narrative citation, do i have to repeat the year in the narrative citation, when its clear which study im reffering to (e.g., because i only cite one study by the author in an entire paper?) As far as I understood, if you repeat a narrative citation you don't have to include the year anymore when its clear what im referring to.. i am confused 😅 does that mean, if in my entire paper, when i discussed 2 studies by the same author, that i always have to repeat the year in narrative citations, no matter what?
How do you cite a citation? For example, I have a meta-analysis I am using for a paper but the sentence I want to cite is from another study and was cited by them. What do I do?
Thank you for the clear and concise explanations and examples. The examples were extremely helpful, as when I just read the explanation or listen to it without a visual, it sounds like blah, blah, blah. Also, thank you for getting this out so soon after the publication. How do I know when to use parenthetical or narrative citations? Or does it matter?
For parenthetical vs. narrative, it's really up to you. Most of the time parenthetical is the way to go, but if it fits better to have narrative citations in the sentence itself, go for it, particularly if you want to highlight a specific study.
Thank you so much for this great video. I have a question: minute 7, when we are adding references in the middle of sentence, shouldn't we change "&" to and? or it will be confused by the and for the last name?
If the website has an author, you use that in the in-text citation as you would any other source. If there is no author, you can use the title instead. You only need to provide the URL in the reference list, not the in-text citation.
If we have to quote a quotation (or definition) in another paper and the definition they referred to is not from author, how do we quote the definition in our work?
I have a question, you state the when there are 3 or more authors, you are supposed to use "et al.". However, I was told you are only supposed to use that AFTER you introduce the authors the first time. Can anyone clarify?
You need to use the phrase "as cited in." So for example, you might have an in-text citation like this (Author, Year, as cited in Author, Year). The reference would just be the source you read, not the original source. Mendeley really doesn't have anything to do with citations and references; that's just a platform.
I have inserted citation and references manually without any reference manager, how can I use mendely to check that every in-text citation is included in the references list?
Hello Samuel, Question regarding the Header: Does APA 7 require headers? In your other video, you went over page numbers but not headers. Also, does Word have a more thorough grammar check kind of like Grammarly? Do you suggest Grammarly?
Running head is only required for professional papers, not student papers. (I have a link to a video for professional papers in the description). I've not used Grammarly so I can't comment on it.
Dear Samuel, I should admit that it's such a great work. And, I'd like to ask how to cite if it is already cited ? For instance, I'm reading an articles which made an in-text citation and I want to get that idea or quote from there. Do I just cite the article that I'm reading through or Should I cite the exact source that's also mentioned in the article I'm reading ? It will be so much utile if you could answer that. Thanks in advance!
You should only cite sources that you've read yourself. So if an article is referring to a different article and you want to cite that, go find that article, read it, and cite it. Otherwise you should just cite the article you were reading.
IN-TEXT CITATION FOR ONE AUTHOR, PLACED AT THE BEGINNING OF A PARAGRAPH OR SENTENCE Format: According to ______________________ I don't understand the question. Please send help. Thank you
Thank you. Also, how do we highlight the fact that a quote has been mentioned more than once in 2 different pages? Do we parenthesize twice with different pages such as (..., p.12) (..., p. 15) or do we just write the page number as (..., p. 12-15).
Thanks for your explanation, my supervisor told me to use APA format in place of my reference page in chapter 3 of my Project. Pls how do I go about it?
Thank you Samuel for writing your paper in a different language. May I suggest thinking about your audience. Generally your audience will be more apt to know how to read in English. But if you are catering to a specific audience that knows the language you have on your video then I understand. Although you made your objective by standing out and being unique and showing how intellectual you are by writing in a different language.
Yeah for annotated bibliographies you probably won't need in-text citations because whomever is reading it will know it's a summary of the specific reference you've already written out.
Generally in-text citations are avoided in abstracts unless your paper is heavily tied to a particular source in some way, but that may depend on the specific journal, conference, etc. you are submitting the paper to.
what about the formatting symbol lets say if I turn it on and finish my assignment for online submission to make them disappear can I simply turn them of
You can always turn the formatting symbols on/off by pressing the Show/Hide button. Whomever you submit it to won't see the symbols unless they have the symbols marked as Show.
I have a question if you can answer for me if I am using just one article for my reference and the author of that article has cited several different other authors for their research in their article do I still just put the one author's information in the in-text citation or do I put the other author's info that they are using?
What if you are citing 2 different works but they are from the same organization and have the same year? Would you still put lower case a and b? For example: "(U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS], 2021a)" and then for the second citation for the other work I could put "(BLS 2021b)"? Thank you so much!
If there are no page numbers and you are using a direct quote, instead of writing out the page numbers, write out the section. So the citation would look like (Authors, Year, XYZ section).
@@APAStylebySam Thanks for your answer, but my question actually referred to the citation style proposed by the new APA guidelines. Luckily, all the books I use have page numbers, but I'm perplexed that I am not supposed to put page numbers into my in-text citations anymore. I think this makes it way more difficult to check up on scientific works.
Ah I gotcha now. That's actually not a new change. Page numbers have only been required when directly quoting text the last couple of editions, at the least. If you are paraphrasing information, you just need the authors and date of publication.
What about if a website has no date? For example, a statistic from government website such as Department of Homeland Security, no author and no date given. (DHS, n.d.). ? or just (DHS). ? Thanks.
When quoting text, you surround the quoted text with double quotation marks (except for block quotes). " If the quoted text contains double quotation marks already though, change the quotation marks in the quoted text to single quotation marks. ' So for example, "I am quoting text 'that was already quoted' in my source."
Hello all, how can I quote an editorial which does not contain an specific name of author, instead of that, the editorial contains: The name of the Editorial, the year 2017 and says by the Editorial Board. my quote is less than 40 words. I appreciate your help, but I dont find in APA 7th how to quote when I take exact words from an editorial. Regards!
Hi sir great video I just want to know if v have multiple authors like 5 and 6 ,v should write it in a firsr citation by using et al or we have to use last citation with year. Semi colon in bracket. Which format is right please reply
If you have 3+ authors, you should use the following format: (FirstAuthorLastName et al., Year). I note a couple of exceptions in the video. The only time you use semi-colons with in-text citations is if you are citing multiple studies at the same time, with the semi-colon being used to separate each study like so (Study 1 Citation; Study 2 Citation).

@@APAStylebySam How did you quickly change to et. al, ? Since Word 10 doesn't acknowledge 7th edition yet, I find it tedious to keep typing et. al, throughout my papers. I saw how quickly you did it and I want to learn an easier way. Thank you.
This is always my go to video for when I needed a refresher. You helped me through obtaining my masters degree. Thanks so much for your sacrifice!

The year of publication is part of a narrative citation, so it should be included.
How do you cite a citation? For example, I have a meta-analysis I am using for a paper but the sentence I want to cite is from another study and was cited by them. What do I do?
every paper has a list of references at the end
you can borrow the citation from that list
I like your narration, it's very articulate.

I have a question, you state the when there are 3 or more authors, you are supposed to use "et al.". However, I was told you are only supposed to use that AFTER you introduce the authors the first time. Can anyone clarify?
APA Style recently updated to the 7th Edition. This was one of the changes - you can use et al. immediately if there are 3+ authors.
Samuel Forlenza, PhD Nice! Thank you!
Thank you for creating these videos.
when to use narrative and parenthetical citation
Thanks so much for this video. How do I cite an author cited by another author using mendeley?
You need to use the phrase "as cited in." So for example, you might have an in-text citation like this (Author, Year, as cited in Author, Year). The reference would just be the source you read, not the original source. Mendeley really doesn't have anything to do with citations and references; that's just a platform.

In text citations go at the beginning of the abstract? or on the main body paragraphs and in the abstract do we need in text citations?
Generally in-text citations are avoided in abstracts unless your paper is heavily tied to a particular source in some way, but that may depend on the specific journal, conference, etc. you are submitting the paper to.
This is very helpful only the page you are using is quite blurry, it's hard to see what you are doing.

You should only cite what you read, so just cite and reference the one article you're using.
What if you are citing 2 different works but they are from the same organization and have the same year? Would you still put lower case a and b? For example: "(U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS], 2021a)" and then for the second citation for the other work I could put "(BLS 2021b)"?

Did u hight with yellow on it is automatically highlighted after you refference
I highlighted myself to show where the citations were.
So you don't use quotation marks of the quoted, right?

" If the quoted text contains double quotation marks already though, change the quotation marks in the quoted text to single quotation marks. ' So for example, "I am quoting text 'that was already quoted' in my source."
Samuel Forlenza, PhD Ah ok ... thanks so much!
When it comes to in text citations, do I still have to leave a url to the source or no?
You need the URL in the reference list entry, not the in-text citation.
What about citing the same author same book multiple times?
The citation will be the same each time.
Did you go to AAPS?
What about when an author's sentence is no succinct or basic that paraphrasing it just makes it sound worse? Is it okay to quote then?
Yeah it would be okay then, but quotes should still be used very sparingly.
