Citing in Presentations Using APA Style

This document provides guidelines for citing sources in PowerPoint presentations. It recommends including a references slide at the end of the presentation with full citations, as well as including brief "source lines" on individual slides to give credit to sources. Examples show how to format source lines for different types of sources, such as research findings from interviews or surveys. A source line should be included any time a slide contains information from an outside source, and the sources must match those fully cited on the references page.

Citing in Presentations

You should always give credit to your sources -- even


in a PowerPoint presentation.

The suggestions below are based on an adaptation of APA
style. Check with your professor regarding specific citing
style requirements for your course assignments.

At a minimum, include a slide with the complete
References at the end of the presentation.
Because audiences may ask about information on a
specific slide, it is helpful to include a brief Source line
on individual slides within the body of the presentation.
This is similar to using in-text citations in a paper.
The sources listed on individual slides should match with
the complete citations on the References page.

Example: Data Table


If you have a chart or table with data from multiple sources, you should include
an in-text cite for each in the Source line. For example, Table 1 includes data
from the Passport database and also from a 2010 World Bank report.
