The date published is listed in the parenthetical citations. The author is listed first, followed by a comma and then the date. If the parenthetical citation is for a direct quote, the page number follows the date.
When you name the author of the piece you are referencing in the narrative, follow the name of the author with the date in parentheses. After you reference the date, continue your sentence.
While this is acceptable, it is not encouraged in APA formatting. You would reference the year and the author in the narrative of the sentence.
Citing the date in a reference citation requires that the date is listed in parentheses immediately after the period following the author or authors of the piece. If no author is listed, the date follows the period following the title of the piece in parentheses.
