APA Format

APA format is for citations on quotes of people that someone used in their research paper. A citation is when you give credit to an author for writing the quote about the person being researched. A writer needs to cite a source when they use the exact words that the author used about the person. When someone uses a direct quote they need to put a exact author name but if it is summarized then you only have to write the book it came from. A reference page is a page stating all the websites or pages you looked at for research and you create it on your own. APA is needed for citing all the authors and books all your imformation came from.
