I. In-text documentation -
Citation within the text of a document refers the reader to an alphabetical reference list at the end of the article. APA format uses the author-date method of citation. The surname of the author and the date of publication are inserted at the appropriate point in the text. The order of two or more works within the same parentheses follows the same order of the works in the reference list (i.e. alphabetically by author, then ordered by date).
A. One work by a single author
0-1
Dwyer, Joy of Language Guidelines
1. If the name of the author appears in the text, cite only the year of the publication in the text.
Ex: Ngom’s (1997) linguistic analysis...
2. If the name of the author does not appear in the text, place the surname of the author and the year of publication with a comma separating the two.
Ex: ...based on another linguistic analysis. (Ngom, 1997)

B. One work by two or more authors

Dwyer, Joy of Language Guidelines
1. When a work has two authors, always use the surnames of both authors in all citations. Join the two names by and ampersand (&) within parentheses or by “and” within the text.
Ex: The phonetic study of Hausa (Miller & Watson, 1996)...
Ex: Miller and Watson’s (1996) phonetic study of Hausa...
2. When a work has three to six authors, use the surnames of all authors in the first citation. In subsequent citations, include only the surname of the first author followed by “et al.”
Ex: Bryant, Farrow, Smith and Zenick’s (1984) analysis of Zulu ...
Zulu does not have those characteristics. (Bryant, et al., 1984)
3. When a work has more than six authors, use only the surname of the first author followed by “et al.”
Ex: In a test of exclusively open-ended questions (Karim, et al., 1998)
4. If there are two references by a similar group of more than six authors in the same year, cite the first author and as many coauthors as necessary to distinguish between the two works.
Ex: The Karim, Lowell, Martin, Smith, et al. (1995) study is different from the Karim, Lowell, Martin, Zenick, et al. (1995) study.

1. Group by first author, editor, or agency name.
•Editor’s names are in author positions if reference is referring to the entire edited work. Agencies, associations, and institutions can function like authors: alphabetically by the first significant word of the name.
•The reference list should be in alphabetical order by author’s, editor’s or agency’s name. With names including “de”, “von”, etc., those names should be alphabetized according to the rules of the language from which they originate.
•Alphabetize M’, Mc, and Mac as they are literally.
