APA formatting is very organized. To cite a source means to add in an essay the website or reference material used to gather the information. The writer needs a title, author, date of publication, and page number if citing a reference. If the writer is using the text of another website it might be too long and it won’t sound right if it uses the exact same words. So, the writer would have to paraphrase the sentence(s). A reference page is the page where all references are listed with all the information necessary. I will use the APA format in my research paper to organize al my sources and make sure I don’t take credit for any other resource.
