(American Psychological Association)
APA 7th Ed. includes guidelines for both References (when you list your resources at the end of your paper) and In-Text Citations (when you refer to a resource as evidence within your paper).
APA Style References
APA Reference entries should include five main categories: Author, Date, Title of Work, Source where you found this Work, URL or DOI
Formatted like this:
Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date). Title of the work. Source where you can retrieve the work. URL or DOI if available
APA Style In-Text citations:
If I am referring to my source as evidence within my paper, I use two of those categories: Authors and Year
Formatted like this:
(Author's Last Name(s) or Organization, Year).

In each citation style, note that there are different formats for noting In-Text Citations, where you indicate within your writing when you are using information or language directly from another resource and then a References or Works Cited Page compiled at the end of your writing where you list out all of the resources you used alphabetically.
