Citation vs. Reference in APA 7 — ENG 300 Explainer | made with ngram

About the video

This video was created by ngram to explain the distinction between in-text citations and reference entries in an APA 7 lesson for ENG 300. The video presents a short author-and-year citation beside a fuller source entry, then shows how the two connect across a paper and its reference page. A mismatch example highlights inconsistent years, while a final checklist asks learners to check cited ideas, corresponding entries, and matching names and dates. ngram combines a presenter shown in scrubs with document graphics, highlighted example text, arrows, captions, and student study scenes. The pale background and teal accents keep attention on the writing examples and the relationship between the two kinds of source information.
