How to cite an interview in APA format
The quotes from interviews depends on the nature of the interview.
Third-party interviews: If the interview is in a retrievable format (for example, a recording, transcript, posted questions and answers), use the appropriate reference format for the source in which the interview is available.
Informative interviews: If you have interviewed someone to obtain information about their topic and that person has agreed to be identified as a source, cite the source as a personal communication (text only):
(Pedro Hernandez, personal communication, April 5, 2011)
Personal communications do not have reference list entries because they cannot be retrieved.
Research participant interviews: It is not necessary to cite observations made by participants in the research you are reporting on. Do not cite these as personal communications; this would violate the confidentiality guarantee of the participants.
Hi, how do I correctly quote one person's answer:
Vanessa deduced that said graph represented the fraction 5/3, and when asked about the procedure she carried out for its deduction, she responds:
The procedure is that where there was a fraction that were five pictures and they painted three then the 5 is put up and the 3 is put down.
In the case of interviews that cannot cite the source but have an internal coding within the investigation, how are they cited?
