APA guidelines stipulate rules for punctuation, tables, headings, statistics and citations. Citing your sources according to APA style helps you avoid plagiarism and boost your paper's credibility. When you cite or mention a book in a paper, you should italicize the title. Citations of books in your Reference List should begin with the last name of the book's author, then the author's initials.
In-Text Citations. When citing in APA format in the text of your paper, use the author's name followed by the date of publication. For example, if you were to cite Sigmund Freud's book The Interpretation of Dreams, you would use the following format: (Freud, 1900).
