APA Format (6th Edition): How to Cite Sources   Tags: apa, citation, citing, quicklinks  

Cite all sources that you quote, paraphrase or refer to when writing a paper. If not, you may be guilty of plagiarism. Sources should be cited in the text of your paper as well as at the end in a reference list. 

You are responsible for the content and organization of your citations. A full explanation on how to cite sources using APA style is available in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th ed., available at the Library Reference Desk.
