APA Format

I am writing on how to use APA format in your research paper. Citing a source means to take the person name who said or wrote it to show proof from where you seen or heard it from. Such as dates and the author`s name. A writer needs to cite a source when something is said by someone and is a fact that is true and to that shows that it was said by someone else and not yourself. What the writer needs to do differently when citing a source that is a direct quote versus summarized text is to put in quotations marks around it and from who said it. If is said as a summarized text put in parentheses ( ) or either brackets, [ ]. A reference page is a page that shows all your sources to which you got from to write your research paper. The things that are included to making a reference page is that it is by making a list. I will use APA format style because includes quoting, references, and citing. To get above grade level you must have that kind of format.

Example of in-text-citations:

He had a very deprived childhood being put into St. Mary’s and he really just wanted to try everything there was. He wanted to get enough to eat so he felt full...and wanted to have enough to drink so that he felt good. (Ruth Stevens, 1925.)
