APA stands for the American Psychological Association and APA style refers to the rules and techniques a student/researcher/author uses when writing in the fields of social sciences, business, education, health, and psychology. When the rules and conventions associated with APA style are followed, anyone familiar with these conventions can easily follow-up on the cited research. Citing material lends credence to a particular point of view or argument, as well as crediting other authors' ideas.
Example of an in-text citation:
Ko and Rossen (2001) recommend that web sites are evaluated thoroughly
before offering them to students as information resources.
Example of a direct quote citation:

and standing among faculty while providing a platform for mathematics and science
integration" (Denson, Kelley, & Wicklein, 2009, p. 95).
