Creating Author-Date Styles

Author-date citation styles are more commonly known as in-text citation styles or as Harvard styles. The APA style is the best-known style of this type. Characteristics of this type of style include the following:

• Citations nearly always appear in the text in the format (Author Year) or Author (Year).
• Multiple publications by an author from the same year are distinguished by the use of a letter following the year: Schwartz 2017a ... Schwartz 2007b
• The bibliography is sorted alphanumerically by the last name of the first author.
