Spinal Cord Injury Association
When using APA style, do I have to cite my source at the end of every sentence or at the end of the paragraph?
When writing in American Psychological Association (APA) style, must I cite my source (author name, year of publication) at the end of every sentence (or fact) If I am paraphasing text from a single source or can I just cite the source at the end of the paragraph?
For example:
Sexual problems are common in Spinal Cord Injury. Most common disorder is erectile disorder (Bastanfar, 2001). Also, emotional adjustment complications are quite common. Psychologist must address these issues (Bastanfar, 2001).
or is it…
Sexual problems are common in spinal cord injury. Most common disorder is erectile disorder. Also, emotional adjustment complications are quite common. Psychologist must address these issues (Bastanfar, 2001).
Thank you for taking my question.
Because all of the info in that paragraph is from the same source, I would just put it at the end of the paragraph. If the info were from different sources then you would have to put the citation at the end of each sentence and/or bit of info.
Just an additional FYI: you need an “s” at the end of “Psychologist” in your last sentence. Or, you need to begin the sentence with “A.”
Also, you need the word “The” at the beginning of your second sentence. You might want to consider making “spinal cord injury” plural as well.
