American Psychological Association (APA) Citation Style Guide

The purpose of this guide is to instruct users on some of the rules of the American Psychological Association (APA) Citation Style.

How to Cite Images

APA was really meant for publication and not for student papers and presentations. One of the questions we often get is how do I cite an image in my PowerPoint Presentation?

There is no official way from APA on how to cite images within a PowerPoint, but there are two ways which many have accepted as best practice:

  • Put an In-Text Citation below the image and then have a slide at the end of the presentation with a reference list. 

Or

  • Put the full citation as a footnote at the bottom of the slide.
