The APA Guidelines adopt the parenthetical method of '(Author Surname, Date)' or 'Author's Surname (Date)' for in-text citations.
Example: The main objective of the traditional budget is to control how much the executive body spends in accordance with the budget law (Altuğ, 2020).
Example: There are many studies in the literature that emphasize the strengths of the program budget system (Altuğ, 2020; Axelrod, 1995; Coşkun, 1997; Dicle, 1973; Edizdoğan & Çetinkaya, 2021).
If the author, who is the source of information, is to be emphasized, 'Surname (Date)' is usually used at the beginning of the sentence.
Example: Altuğ (2020) stated the program budget system has many advantages over the traditional budget.
―One author (Tezcan, 2014), (Gray, 2010a); if a quotation (Flint, 1988, p. 5)
―Two authors (Boex & Simatupang, 2008).
―Three and more authors (Bolivar et al., 2007).
―If the author is an agency / organization (International Money Fund [IMF], 2014) Subsequent citations (IMF, 2014)
―Different authors with the same surname (F. Eryilmaz, 2020; M. Eryilmaz, 2021)
―Paraphrasing a source: Sahin (2019) shows that the policies implemented to eliminate inequalities in income distribution are far from being effective.
―Secondary source: Samuelson (1954, as cited in Batırel, 2007) / Samuelson (1954) explained the characteristics of pure public goods as follows (as cited in Batırel, 2007):
