Using and Citing Audio and Multimedia

APA uses an author-date style of in-text citation e.g (Smith, 2003) with a separate references list at the end of the paper. Every work you cite in your paper must have a full reference in your reference list. There is no need for a separate references list for audiovisual materials.
