For a quotation of 39 words or fewer, place the sentence punctuation after the closing bracket of the reference: âA terrible storm started last night as I took the dog for our nightly walkâ (Jamieson, 1999, p. 12). For a block quotation, the closing punctuation appears before the reference citation. See What is the correct formatting in APA style for a block quotation (40+ words)? and Back to Basics with Periods for more information.
Always put the in-text citation in parentheses before the period and after the quotation marks or after the name of the author or the title of the source.
