Using APA in discussion posts is very similar to using APA in a paper. It helps to think of your discussion post as a short APA paper without a cover page.
You need to cite your sources in your discussion post both in-text and in a reference section. If you need help formatting in-text citations, check out our citation examples here. Your reference citation will go at the end of your discussion post.
