Using a Direct Quote.
How to reference a direct quote from another author in an article apa. For direct quotes make sure to include page or paragraph number. This may be called a secondary source For example the Kirkey article you are reading includes a quotation by Smith that you would like to include in your essay. The authors words are left unchanged and enclosed within quotation marks.
The in-text citation would include the words quoted in see Section 1556. But this is also an opprotunity to bring both authors into the sentence. The in-text citation will include the author year and page numbers.
The author inside the parenthesis Parker is the source you. The APA recommends paraphrasing when possible. For the in-text citation you identify the primary source Snow and then write as cited in the secondary source Brown.
For every in-text citation in your paper there must be a corresponding entry in your reference list. Smith states Citing an article in your essay correctly is fundamental if you want to avoid plagiarism 26. Citing unwritten sources quoted in another source When making reference to the spoken words of someone other than the author recorded in a text cite the name of the person and the name of the author date and page reference of the work in which the quote or reference appears.
If the quotation is fewer than 40 words incorporate it into your paragraph and enclose it in double quotation marks. A direct quotation reproduces word-for-word material taken directly from another authors work or from your own previously published work. If you have read the original work then you can construct the sentence to read like this.
In your in-text citation identify the primary source and include in parentheses as cited in Author Date. For direct quotations include the page number as well for example. Thus if authors are referencing only a secondary source the page number they provide for a direct quotation would be from that secondary source.
