There must be a corresponding Reference List entry for every in-text citation (except for a few exceptions, such as personal communications).Ģ.1: Examples of in-text citations with page numbers (print or online).
You must include a page number in in-text citations for direct quotations, and you are encouraged to include them when you paraphrase. You must include an in-text citation whenever you directly quote from another work, or when you paraphrase an idea from another work.

APA Style uses the author-date citation system (rather than footnotes or endnotes), which are often called in-text citations, parenthetical citations, or narrative citations.
