Q: Can I cite a quote from a YouTube video? A: Yes! In the in-text citation, where you would include a page number for a quote from a written work, include the time stamp instead. Use the time for the beginning of the quotation. Use this guideline from Publication Manual (7th ed.) Section 8.28 to quote from other audiovisual works too, including TV shows, podcast episodes, audiobooks, and streaming videos. Example: Instead of “(Espinoza, 2026, p. 15)” you would write “(Espinoza, 2026, 1:41)” to indicate the time when the quote begins.

APA Style FAQ Q: In a reference, if an article's title ends with a question mark, should you also include the period that usually ends the title element? A: Don't add a period. The question mark replaces the usual period. Example: Peng, D., Iqbal, Z., & Zentall, T. R. (2026). Ephemeral reward task: Why is it so difficult for pigeons to learn it? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 52(1), 9–15. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000397 (In the image, there is a circle drawing attention to the question mark that appears after the word "it" and before the beginning of the journal's title.)

This FAQ is about punctuation in references. Each element of #APAStyle references (i.e., the author, date, title, and source) usually ends with a period.

👉 An exception is when the title element ends in a question mark, as in this example.

Why So Many Reference Details? References provide context and leave a trail of clues if links fail. * Writing a reference gives you a chance to evaluate the source. * Formatting distinguishes the elements. A figure shows the relationship between the author, date, title, and source elements of a reference and those details as shown on the first page of a journal article. This figure can also be found at https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/basic-principles

Why are references important? Why can't authors just provide links for online works they are citing?
