Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of in-text citations in APA format: parenthetical and narrative. Parenthetical citations include the author(s) and the date of publication within parentheses. Narrative citations intertwine the author as part of the sentence with the date of publication (in parentheses) following.
Detailed explanation-2: -Parenthetical and Narrative Citations In narrative citations, the author’s name and publication date is included in the text as part of the sentence. In a parenthetical citation both the author and the date appear in parenthesis and are separated by a comma.
Detailed explanation-3: -One important rule to remember is that you won’t mix these two methods into one sentence; in other words, you might use either narrative citation or parenthetical citation in a given sentence, but you won’t use both in one sentence.
Detailed explanation-4: -Name both authors in the signal phrase or in parentheses each time you cite the work. Use the word “and” between the authors’ names within the text and use the ampersand in parentheses.
