Quotations in the body of the text must be presented between parenthesis, and include the author's last name, the publication year, and the quoted paged, i.e.: "(Patton, 2015, p. 47)".
If the author's name is part of the text, only the year and the page numbers must be identified between parenthesis, i.e.: "According to Martín-Pérez (2023, para. 10), […]".
For cases not covered by the examples below, please consult the 7th edition APA style book.

Example: «(Farrica, 2009a, p. 10)».
