Apa Format Direct Quote Citation
Place a parenthetical citation either immediately after the quotation or at the end of the sentence.
Apa format direct quote citation. A direct quotation reproduces word for word material taken directly from another authors work or from your own previously published work. As a general rule apa requires proper nouns to be capitalized. If the quotation is fewer than 40 words incorporate it into your paragraph and enclose it in double quotation marks. With author names however your goal is to write the name as the author him or herself has presented it in scholarly work.
For a direct quotation always include a full citation parenthetical or narrative in the same sentence as the quotation including the page number or other location information eg paragraph number. Thus if the name starts with a lowercase letter in the source you are citing as is the case above with the name lyoob keep it lowercase.
