In-Text vs. References

You must do both in-text and references, so what is the difference?

Citations and references should be included anytime you use another individual’s work in your own assignment. When including a quote, paraphrased information, images, or any other piece of information from another’s work, you need to show where you found it by including a citation and a reference. This guide explains how to make them.

Style citations are added in the body of a research paper or project and references are added to the last page.

• In-text Citations, which are called in-text citations, are included when you’re adding information from another individual’s work into your own project. When you add text word-for-word from another source into your project, or take information from another source and place it in your own words and writing style (known as paraphrasing), you create an in-text citation. These citations are short in length and are placed in the main part of your project, directly after the borrowed information.

References are found at the end of your research (Links to an external site.) project, usually on the last page. Included on this reference list page is the full information for any in-text citations found in the body of the project. These references are listed in alphabetical order by the author’s last name.

An APA in-text citation includes only three items: the last name(s) of the author(s), the year the source was published, and sometimes the page or location of the information. References include more information such as the name of the author(s), the year the source was published, the full title of the source, and the URL or page range.

Below are examples of APA in-text citations and APA references:

• Credible Sources:

To figure out of the source is credible, ask yourself these questions:
(Hint: Wikipedia is not considered a credible source. )

Contributor/Author

Has the author written several articles on the topic, and do they have the credentials to be an expert in their field?

Can you contact them? Do they have social media profiles?

Have other credible individuals referenced this source or author?

• Book: What have reviews said about it?

Publisher

What do you know about the publisher/sponsor? Are they well-respected?

Do they take responsibility for the content? Are they selective about what they publish?

Take a look at their other content. Do these other articles generally appear credible?

Bias

• Does the author or the organization have a bias? Does bias make sense in relation to your argument?

Is the purpose of the content to inform, entertain, or to spread an agenda? Is there commercial intent?

Are there ads?

Currency

When was the source published or updated? Is there a date shown?

• Does the publication date make sense in relation to the information presented to your argument?

Does the source even have a date?

• Reproduced

Was it reproduced? If so, from where?

• If it was reproduced, was it done so with permission? Copyright/disclaimer included?
