Pearson

Citations need to be in APA style. Under this style, you should have a short-form in-text citation at
the end of a cited sentence, and a complete reference at the very end of the essay in
a Reference section. Footnotes and Endnotes are not used in APA citation format.
The short-form citation is written inside parentheses and contains the following information:
the authors’ last names, the year of publication, and the specific page number where the information
was read. In subsequent (short-form in-text) citations, you do not need to write the year of
publication again.
