APA 7 in-text citation 

 

All submissions should follow APA 7th edition style in the body of the text and followed by a complete list of works cited at the end. For any necessary clarification on APA 7 style, please refer to the information in section “g” above.

Ensure that the list of works cited includes all references cited and has full bibliographic details; do not simply import citations from an external program without editing and correcting the list of works cited. (Respect the correct use of data and punctuation marks).

Two aspects must be taken into account when presenting an idea with its respective credit: whether it is quoted verbatim (direct citation) or paraphrased (indirect), and what is the focus given, whether on the author (narrative citation) or on the idea itself (parenthetical citation).

 

 

Direct citations

Direct quotations can be short (up to 40 words) or block quotes (more than 40 words):

 

 

>Short citation (within paragraph)

Short quotations are considered to be those that are up to 40 words long, must be written between quotation marks, without italics and within the paragraph.

 

a. Parenthetical

Anger is considered a simple human reaction, and the sin of anger depends on the degree to which it manifests itself: “When the instinctive passionate movement of anger is awakened, it blinds us, stupidizes us and turns us into a kind of stubborn beasts. That excess is harmful, but I believe that a point of anger is necessary” (Savater, 2005, p. 81).

 

b. Narrative

To Savater, as to many, anger is a simple human reaction, and the sin of anger depends on the degree to which it manifests itself: “When the instinctive passionate movement of anger is awakened, it blinds us, stupidizes us and turns us into a kind of stubborn beasts. This excess is harmful, but I believe that a point of anger is necessary” (2005, p. 81).

 

 

>Blockquote (Separate paragraph)

Citations longer than 40 words should be in a separate block, without quotation marks and indentation.

a. Parenthetical:

In short, the settlement of whites, mestizos and some slaves was due to the policies of aggregation and segregation of land for the exploitation of livestock and crops:

Legally, the seizure of the Indians’ lands was justified. Between 1750 and 1800, a period in which the indigenous communities of eastern Colombia were subject to a policy of aggregation-segregation of lands, the amount of the sales of some 68 resguardos was approximately 110,308 pesos. In 1778, Moreno y Escandón reported from San Gil that the sale of only 18 towns had represented an income to the treasury of 45,560 pesos (Tovar, 1986, p. 23).

 

b. Narrative:

The settlement of whites, mestizos and some slaves is directly related to the policies of land aggregation and segregation, as Tovar notes, for the exploitation of livestock and crops:

Legally, the seizure of the Indians’ lands was justified. Between 1750 and 1800, a period in which the indigenous communities of eastern Colombia were subject to a policy of aggregation-segregation of lands, the amount of the sales of some 68 resguardos was approximately 110,308 pesos. In 1778, Moreno y Escandón reported from San Gil that the sale of only 18 towns had represented an income to the treasury of 45,560 pesos (1986, p. 23).

 

 

Indirect citations

 

a. Parenthetical

Finally, rurality can refer to rural development, which includes strategies to address marginalized, vulnerable and disjointed populations, etc. (Dirven et al., 2011).

 

b. Narrative

Finally, Dirven et al. (2011) define rurality on the basis of rural development, which includes strategies to address marginalized, vulnerable and disjointed populations, among others.
