Anyway, hope this helps.

If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by “p.”). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author’s last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses.

According to Jones (1998), “Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time” (p. 199).

Jones (1998) found “students often had difficulty using APA style” (p. 199); what implications does this have for teachers?

If the author is not named in a signal phrase, place the author’s last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation.

She stated, “Students often had difficulty using APA style,” (Jones, 1998, p. 199), but she did not offer an explanation as to why.

If the quote is more than 4 lines, it gets set off from the body of the text – indented 1″ on side margins, double-spaced, no quotes. A parenthetical reference to the quote – referring back to your bibliograghy – follows at the end of the quote

i.e. xxxxxtextxxxx (16)

Does this help?

“churches use only 5% of income” (John 123).

Remember there is no comma between the authors last name and page number unless you are using a electronic source and also put a period after the closing bracket.

If you use an electronic source then it would be like this (John, par. 3). par. 3 means third paragraph.
