Answered By: Paul LaiLast Updated: May 02, 2017 Views: 515579 Show If you are citing the same source multiple times in a text within the same paragraph, be sure to use the following APA guidelines: Sentence-level in-text citation guidelines 1. The first time you use the source in the paragraph as part of the sentence, give the citation of the author’s name and year (even if you already used a parenthetical citation). Example: Grammer (2013) explained how practicing APA helped improve students’ writing skills. 2. The second and subsequent time you use that source in a sentence, you do not need to include the year. Example: Grammer also mentioned that scholarly writing fostered critical thinking skills. Parenthetical citation guidelines 1. The first time you use the source in the paragraph, you will give the full parenthetical in-text citation (Author’s last name, year). Example: Writing is a learned form of communication (Grammer, 2013). 2. The second and subsequent time you use a parenthetical citation, you will still give the full in-text citation (Author’s last name, year). Example: Using APA allows students to have consistency with other writings in their field of study (Grammer, 2013). Note: You will never see only the author’s last name in a parenthetical citation—the parenthetical citation must always include the year. A few tips to remember when citing within a paragraph:

Related TopicsNote: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here. Reference citations in text are covered on pages 261-268 of the Publication Manual. What follows are some general guidelines for referring to the works of others in your essay. Note: On pages 117-118, the Publication Manual suggests that authors of research papers should use the past tense or present perfect tense for signal phrases that occur in the literature review and procedure descriptions (for example, Jones (1998) found or Jones (1998) has found...). Contexts other than traditionally-structured research writing may permit the simple present tense (for example, Jones (1998) finds). APA Citation BasicsWhen using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, like, for example, (Jones, 1998). One complete reference for each source should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper. If you are referring to an idea from another work but NOT directly quoting the material, or making reference to an entire book, article or other work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication and not the page number in your in-text reference. On the other hand, if you are directly quoting or borrowing from another work, you should include the page number at the end of the parenthetical citation. Use the abbreviation “p.” (for one page) or “pp.” (for multiple pages) before listing the page number(s). Use an en dash for page ranges. For example, you might write (Jones, 1998, p. 199) or (Jones, 1998, pp. 199–201). This information is reiterated below. Regardless of how they are referenced, all sources that are cited in the text must appear in the reference list at the end of the paper. In-text citation capitalization, quotes, and italics/underlining
(Note: in your References list, only the first word of a title will be capitalized: Writing new media.)
Short quotationsIf you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and page number for the reference (preceded by "p." for a single page and “pp.” for a span of multiple pages, with the page numbers separated by an en dash). You can introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses. According to Jones (1998), "students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199). Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty using APA style" (p. 199); what implications does this have for teachers? If you do not include the author’s name in the text of the sentence, place the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation. She stated, "Students often had difficulty using APA style" (Jones, 1998, p. 199), but she did not offer an explanation as to why. Long quotationsPlace direct quotations that are 40 words or longer in a free-standing block of typewritten lines and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, indented 1/2 inch from the left margin, i.e., in the same place you would begin a new paragraph. Type the entire quotation on the new margin, and indent the first line of any subsequent paragraph within the quotation 1/2 inch from the new margin. Maintain double-spacing throughout, but do not add an extra blank line before or after it. The parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark. Because block quotation formatting is difficult for us to replicate in the OWL's content management system, we have simply provided a screenshot of a generic example below.  Formatting example for block quotations in APA 7 style. Quotations from sources without pagesDirect quotations from sources that do not contain pages should not reference a page number. Instead, you may reference another logical identifying element: a paragraph, a chapter number, a section number, a table number, or something else. Older works (like religious texts) can also incorporate special location identifiers like verse numbers. In short: pick a substitute for page numbers that makes sense for your source. Jones (1998) found a variety of causes for student dissatisfaction with prevailing citation practices (paras. 4–5). A meta-analysis of available literature (Jones, 1998) revealed inconsistency across large-scale studies of student learning (Table 3). Summary or paraphraseIf you are paraphrasing an idea from another work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication in your in-text reference and may omit the page numbers. APA guidelines, however, do encourage including a page range for a summary or paraphrase when it will help the reader find the information in a longer work. According to Jones (1998), APA style is a difficult citation format for first-time learners. APA style is a difficult citation format for first-time learners (Jones, 1998, p. 199). How do you inWhen citing the work of the same author multiple times in one paragraph, you do not need to reference the author at the end of each sentence. That would look clunky and make your writing stilted. Instead, introduce the author with a full in-text citation at the beginning of the paragraph and then, again, at the end.
Do you cite every sentence from the same source apa?Important to remember: You DO NOT need to add an in-text citation after EVERY sentence of your paragraph.
How do I cite a source multiple times within the same paragraph?The best way to solve this problem and still make your paper easy to read is to use a lead-in referring to your source at the beginning of a sentence or at the start of the paragraph (signal phrase). You can alternate this with putting the in-text cite in parentheses at the end of other sentences or the paragraph.
