How do I cite evidence in my essay?

Citing evidence in your essay is crucial for supporting your arguments. Are you using a specific citation style?

Yes, I'm using APA style.

In APA style, you typically include the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses. For example: (Smith, 2020, p. 15).

What if I have multiple authors?

For two authors, include both last names separated by an ampersand, like this: (Smith & Jones, 2020). For three or more, use the first author's last name followed by 'et al.' like this: (Smith et al., 2020).

Can you give me an example of a full citation?

Sure! A full citation in APA format would look like this: Smith, J. (2020). Title of the Book. Publisher.
