For proper APA format, if multiple consecutive sentences are using information from the same source, where should the sources be cited?

Cite each sentence or the whole paragraph?

Answer

According to APA, if multiple consecutive sentences are using information from the same source, you should cite the source after the first sentence if the source and topic do not change.

For more information, see the Appropriate Level of Citation page on the APA Style Blog.

For other APA questions, consult the APA Help guide.
