Topic > APA Formatting Nonsense - 557

This document will make no sense; it is written only to practice APA formatting for various references and to practice various in-text citations. I can say that it will be boring to write this article; therefore, it will probably be boring to read. Even so, it's still good practice for future reference.

However, another random academic journal states: “This article is about a robust and effective explanation and prediction of nsSNP-induced pathology” (Basit, Wechsler, 2013). I don't know what the pathology induced by nsSNP is, but it is probably important to the authors. The books are widely used and that means I need to know how to cite them in APA format. The book closest to me is the book we were assigned in class, They Say, I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing, so I'll mention it.

I decided to show a different style of referencing in the text with this reference example. This style is used when the quote is quite long. ...... half of the article ...... in Biology, 5(5), 199-214. Birkenstein, C., Graff, G., Durst, R. (2012).
