Academic Citation

While my work is intended to be informative, based on scholarly and empirically-validated social work practice, should you wish to use any my work for your papers, here is a quick guide to cite in APA format.

Per the American Psychological Association: For a passing reference to this website in text, the URL is sufficient; no reference list entry is needed.

Ignacio Pacheco is a social work professional that uses technology tools like the iPad in social work practice (https://socialworktech.com/).

However, when you are citing a particular document or piece of information from a website, include both a reference list entry and an in-text citation. The key to creating the reference list entry is to determine the type of content on the web page. Basically, provide the following four pieces of information:

Pacheco, I. (20YY [the year that page or blog post was published]). Title of page or blog article [Web Page]. Retrieved from https://socialworktech.com/[link to blog article].

The in-text citation includes the author and date (Author, date), as with any other APA Style citation
