How to Cite Reprinted Works in APA Style

Citing all the sources from which you collected information while writing your research paper is necessary to avoid plagiarizing content. One of the most common citing styles used in papers is the one established by the American Psychological Association and it is often applied by social and medical scientists. When citing reprinted works using APA style, remember to reference the work both in the text of your paper as well as in the bibliography at the end of your essay.
