Citing yourself

You cite yourself when you quote or reuse your own texts in assignments, articles, or other kinds of work. Remember to include a citation to avoid self-plagiarism

Submission under full name

In an article or assignment submitted under full name, you include a citation with your own name. Choose a reference type according to the type of source you are citing. Use rules and examples found under “Doctoral dissertation and master’s thesis” for school assignments.

Anonymous submission

If you are submitting your text anonymously, APA recommends that you delete the reference from the reference list. Instead of the in-text citation, you write (citation omitted) or something similar.
