APA In Text Citation Continuation

Paragraphing is a restatement of the original source in your own words. Paraphrasing in text citations include the author (or title if no author) and the date. It is optional to include the specific page, paragraph, or section of a source that is paraphrased. 

For any multi author sources, for any sources with less than three or greater than six authors, they are all written out he first time, but subsequent use, You can use the first author followed by 'et al'.

If the information for the in text citation is included in the body of the text. Your writing and you have multiple authors, the word and is spelled out.

     For example: (Jones, Smith, and Black 2010).....

If the information for the in text citation is all included i a parenthetical phrase an ampersand is used to separate the next to last and last author.

    For example: (Jones, Smith, & Black, 2010)

For six or more authors, cite the surname of the first author and use et al., the first time that source is used and any subsequent in text citation for that source. 

   For example: (Jones, et al.) 

When an author is repeated within a paragraph, with no other sources used in between, you can omit the date. For a new paragraph, 




subsequent: coming after something in time; following.
omit: leave out or exclude ( someone or something) either intentionally or forgetfully
