Research APA citation

When we write an essay, we are using a lot of information from our research. We are liable for plagiarism If we do not give credit to the author of the information we are using. So today we will talk about citations and then you will use your research to write your essay,

Use the author's last name and the year of publication.
For example, "(Field, 2005)".
* Multiple authors: Use an ampersand (&) between the last names of
two authors, and "et al." for three or more authors.
For example, "(Cook & Croft, 2015)" or "(Chen et al., 2008)"
For direct quotations, include the page number as well,
For example, "(Field, 2005, p. 14)". 

Yeah Yeah I know it is boring information!
