Detailed explanation-1: -Always list the author’s surname before listing his or her initials. You only need to provide initials for the first and middle names, but do include initials for all middle names provided by the source. Include a comma after every last name and in-between different authors’ names. Include a period after every initial.
Detailed explanation-2: -In-text Citations In APA style, the in-text citation usually consists of the last name(s) of the author(s) and date of publication. Page or paragraph numbers must be included for direct quotations. It’s not necessary to include page/paragraph numbers for paraphrases, but it’s encouraged.
Detailed explanation-3: -When there is only one name, simply use that name. The guiding principal of citation is to give a clear and unambiguous pointer for finding the work in question and related works.
