Booth-Butterfield et al. (2000) tested...
(Booth-Butterfield et al., 2000, p. 5)For a work with six or more authors, use et al. from the first mention.
These are only some of the most basic examples of APA in-text cita-
tion. Consult the APA manual for other guidelines.References. APA style, like MLA style, requires a separate list of sources
at the end of a research paper. This list is called “References,” not “Works
Cited.” The list of references starts on a new page at the end of your paper
and lists sources alphabetically by author (or title if no author is identi-
fied). Figure A.2 shows a sample list of references with sources cited in
APA style.Steps to Compiling an APA List of References■^1 Begin your list of references on a new page at the end of your
paper.■^2 Put a shortened version of the paper’s title (not your last name)
in all caps in the upper-left corner; put the page number in the
upper-right corner.■^3 Double-space throughout.
■^4 Center the heading (“References”) on the page.
■^5 Arrange the list of sources alphabetically by author’s last name or
by title if no author is identified.■^6 Begin the first line of each source flush left; second and subse-
quent lines should be indented ½ inch.n■^7 Invert all authors’ names. If a source has more than one author,
use an ampersand (not and) before the last name.■^8 Insert the date in parentheses after the last author’s name.
■^9 Italicize the titles of books, capitalizing only the first letter of the
title and subtitle and proper nouns.
10 Follow the same capitalization for the titles of book chapters and
articles. Do not use quotation marks around chapter and article
titles.11 Italicize the titles of journals, magazines, and newspapers, capital-
izing the initial letters of all key words.19_GRE_60141_App_BRF_343_353.indd 350 10/31/14 4:48 PM
