1. always use an authors last name first, then use the initials for the first and middle name
00:17
For example: Smith, J. L.
00:25
2. you need to add the year the author published the work in a parenthesis
00:31
for example: Smith, J. L., (2021)
00:41
3. you will want to put the title of the publication next
00:48
For example: Smith, J. L., (2021) What is Photosynthesis?
01:02
4. a location is also needed when citing in APA format
01:10
For example: Smith, J. L.,(2021) What is photosynthesis? Orlando, Florida: university of florida
01:22
5. add an addition after an title if it happens to be a second edition or later
01:29
For example: Smith, J. L.,(2021) What is photosynthesis? (2nd ed.). Orlando, Florida, university
01:43
6. create a citation for the text itself
01:50
For example: What is Photosynthesis? (Smith,2021,p.124).
01:58
7. if there is more than one author cited, use commas
02:04
For example: Smith, J. L., Brown, T. M., Williams B. C.,
02:14
8.Journals are cited very similar in some ways and very different in others
02:20

head to cite a source at a P.
00:03 - 00:03
A format.
00:05 - 00:06
So a P A format.
00:07 - 00:09
The american psychological foundation format.
00:11 - 00:13
First step you want to know is that you always
00:13 - 00:15
want to use an author's last name first, then use
00:15 - 00:17
the initials for the first and middle name.
00:19 - 00:22
For example, smith would be the last name comma J.
00:23 - 00:23
Period L.
00:24 - 00:28
Period. For the second step you need to add the
00:28 - 00:30
year the author published the work in parentheses.
00:33 - 00:36
Now for example, you do smith last name than J.
00:36 - 00:39
L. First and middle name initials and then the year
00:43 - 00:45
For number three you want to put the title of
00:45 - 00:52
the publication next And for example, smith, J.
00:52 - 00:52
L. Year.
00:53 - 00:59
What is for example smith JL near what is photosynthesis
01:00 - 01:00
would be the title?
01:03 - 01:04
Mhm. Number number four.
01:05 - 01:08
A location is also needed when citing an ap A
01:08 - 01:14
format. Now for my example you do name here the
01:14 - 01:18
title. What is photo sentences and then Orlando florida from
01:19 - 01:19
the university of florida.
01:20 - 01:25
As an example for step number five you want to
01:25 - 01:27
add in addition after a title, if it happens to
01:27 - 01:32
be a second edition or later an example show smith,
01:33 - 01:35
it was authors title name.
01:36 - 01:38
Year titled The work.
01:39 - 01:42
Second dish in Orlando florida and the university of florida.
01:43 - 01:46
Mhm. So for number six.
01:46 - 01:48
Step# six, you want to create a citation for
01:48 - 01:49
the text itself.
01:50 - 01:51
Yeah. Mhm.
01:52 - 01:54
For example, what is photo senses do the authors last
01:55 - 01:57
name? The year and the page number in parentheses.
02:00 - 02:02
And for step# seven if there is more than
02:02 - 02:04
one author cited, you always want to use compass.
02:06 - 02:09
For example, Smith will be the first name, Brown, 2nd
02:10 - 02:10
and William 3rd.
02:11 - 02:13
Each separated by commas as I did.
02:14 - 02:18
Mhm deficit number eight journals are very excited, very similar
02:18 - 02:19
in some ways very different others.
02:23 - 02:24
And you always want to put the name of the
02:24 - 02:29
journal after the name of the article For example, Smith
02:29 - 02:30
J. L.
02:30 - 02:32
2021. What is photosynthesis?
02:33 - 02:35
And then that will be from the Botany Medical Journal.
02:35 - 02:38
For example if it comes from a medical journal and
02:39 - 02:43
had a book or website At the page numbers volume
02:43 - 02:45
or issue for seven per 9.
02:46 - 02:48
Okay for example you do smith J.
02:49 - 02:53
L. Was the name 2021 the euros made title The
02:53 - 02:56
medical journal came from in 9315 to 19.
02:57 - 03:00
Now what those numbers mean is nine will be the
03:00 - 03:03
Volume three is the issue and 1519 is where you
03:03 - 03:04
put your pages.
03:06 - 03:09
Mhm. Now step number 10 at a deal I or
03:09 - 03:12
digital object identifier for medical journals.
03:13 - 03:15
And this is an example of what it might look
03:15 - 03:20
like Now for number 11 if you can't find Dy
03:20 - 03:22
then just use a web link for articles.
03:24 - 03:29
Now for example that would be the botany medical journal.
03:31 - 03:33
You do the volume page numbers as I said earlier
03:34 - 03:37
then refer you from the website which you can just
03:37 - 03:41
copy paste and that is my video for how to
03:41 - 03:43
cite in aPA format
