Then hit the tab key to indent and then continue typing the paper. In APA any source that you use in your paper must have an in-text citation. In APA these citations include the authors last name and the year of the publication in parentheses (Barrett, 2002). If the source you are using does not identify an author, use a shortened version of the source title rather than the author name (E-Portfolios for Education, 2006).

If you have questions on certain references, outside of a book, revisit the APA Owl website. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/ https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/03/

Conclusion Comment by Dr. C: Conclusion does not go on separate page; follows essay body.
Begin to summarize the main points of your topic in three to five sentences. The conclusion of your paper should re-phrase the points of what your reader should be left remembering, nothing new, concise and to the point.
References Comment by Dr. C: There is a page break used so you do not have to worry about the reference page; it will always be on its own page.
