It is not necessary to include the page number(s) in the citation, but it may be helpful, especially if the source is very long (e.g., a short passage from a whole book). If material is paraphrased (i.e., restated in your own words), always provide the author and date in the in-text citation. If the quotation includes more than 40 words, it should be treated as a block quotation, meaning that it is displayed in a freestanding block of text without quotation marks. Also, the APA running head helps to identify the pages in case the pages of your paper or essay get separated. If the quotation includes fewer than 40 words, incorporate it in text and enclose it with double quotation marks. A running head, especially in APA style, refers to the short title that usually appears at the top of every page of your paper or essay. Material quoted directly from another source (i.e., reproduced word for word from works by other authors, your own previously published work, material replicated from a test item, and/or verbatim instructions to participants) must always provide the author, year, and specific page(s) in the text citation (for sources that don’t have page numbers, see the APA Style Blog post on citing a Kindle listed below) and include a complete entry in the reference list.
