APA In-Text citation

For our report, we need to use APA style in-text citations, so I thought, I should share this information with our group. Basically in text citations are used to refer to the source of writer's inspiration, so if reader wants to get more information about writer's source, they can refer to the reference list. APA style in-text citation includes following elements:

  • Author’s name (if known) or we can use name of organization, if it is cooperate or if author is unknown then we can use source title.
  • Year
  • Page number

I found following website very use full for APA in-text citation.
