How to format APA citation in First Draft Pro

For the academics! πŸŽ“

Updated over 2 weeks ago

APA citations appear in First Draft Pro projects in two forms:

  • In-text citations are brief and placed directly in the body of your writing, typically including the author's last name and the year of publication, e.g., (Smith, 2020). For direct quotes, include a page number: (Smith, 2020, p. 42).

  • Reference list entries appear on the last page of your document and include full details of each source, such as author, year, title, and where it can be found (e.g., URL for websites, publisher for books).
