When you are writing a paper in APA style, you need to cite paraphrased material correctly. To do this, you will need to include an in-text citation as well as a reference entry for the source you paraphrased.
The in-text citation will include the author’s name and the year of publication. For example: (Johnson, 2018)
The reference entry for the source will include the author’s name, the year of publication, the title of the article, the name of the journal, and the volume and issue number. For example:
Johnson, M. (2018). How to cite paraphrasing in apa. Journal of Citing, 8(2), 123-127.
How do you cite paraphrase in APA?
When you are paraphrasing someone else’s work in your paper, you need to include an in-text citation to give credit to the original author. In APA style, the in-text citation should include the author’s last name and the year of publication. You can also include the page number if you want, but it is not required. Here is an example of an in-text citation:
According to Smith (2017), “paraphrasing is a great way to add depth to your paper” (p. 9).
If you are using a direct quote from the original source, you will need to include the author’s last name, the year of publication, and the page number. Here is an example:
“Paraphrasing is a great way to add depth to your paper,” said Smith (2017, p. 9).
How do you cite an entire paraphrased paragraph in APA?
In APA style, when you paraphrase part of a source, you must include an in-text citation to indicate where the information came from. The citation should include the author’s name, the year of publication, and the page number (if applicable). Here’s an example:
According to Smith (2017), “the brain is like a muscle” (p. 123).
If you are paraphrasing more than one paragraph, you must include an in-text citation at the end of each paragraph.
Can you cite a paraphrasing?
A paraphrase is a restatement of a text or passage using your own words. It is important to cite a paraphrase because you are using someone else’s ideas and you need to give credit where credit is due. There are two ways to cite a paraphrase: in-text and end-of-text.
In-text citations
In-text citations are included in the body of your paper and include the author’s last name and the page number. For example:
According to Jones (1998), “paraphrasing is a great way to improve your writing” (p. 123).
Or:
Jones (1998) argues that paraphrasing is a great way to improve your writing (p. 123).
End-of-text citations
End-of-text citations are included in the Works Cited list at the end of your paper. They include the author’s last name, the year of publication, and the page number. For example:
Jones, 1998. 123.
How do you cite a website after paraphrasing APA?
When paraphrasing a website in APA style, you must include the author, date, and URL of the website. You may also include the title of the website, if it is different from the author’s name.
Here is an example:
According to the website, “APA Style is a writing style and format for academic papers” (Author, Date, URL).
The website also states that “APA Style is used in the social sciences” (Author, Date, URL).
APA reference page
An APA reference page is a listing of all of the sources that were cited in a research paper written in the American Psychological Association (APA) style.
The reference page is usually located at the end of a research paper, and it is numbered consecutively starting with the number 1.
Each source on the reference page is listed in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. If the author’s name is not given, the source is listed alphabetically by the first word in the title.
The reference page should include the following information for each source:
– the author’s last name
– the author’s first initial
– the year the source was published
– the title of the source
– the name of the publisher
– the location of the publisher
Here is an example of a reference page:
