Citations
In-Text Citations
Provide in-text citations within the text of your essay. There should be an in-text citation for each of the ten pages you reference.
Your first in-text citation should contain author’s last name, year, and page number. For example, (McCully, 2014, p. 32).
All subsequent citations should only contain the page number. For example, (p. 132).
Full Citation
On a new page, but within the same document, provide a full citation to the book.
It should be double spaced just like the rest of the essay.
Full citations should have a hanging indent, which means the first line is on the left margin and the subsequent lines are indented half of an inch.
Your full citation should be in APA format using the following formula:
Last name, First initial. (year). Title of book. Publisher.
The title of the book should be in sentence case, which means you only capitalize the first letter of the first word, and the first letter of the first word of the subtitle.
