Direct citation指逐字逐句地复制直接取自另一位作者的作品，或你自己以前发表的作品。那么APA 7th如何进行直接引用呢？方法如下：
一、引用方法概述
1、如果引语少于40个单词，将其纳入你的段落，并用双引号括起来。
David Copperfield starts with "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show" (Dickens, 1869, p. 1).
2、如果引文有40个或更多单词，请将其放在缩进的独立文本块中，不带引号。双倍行距。
二、引用方法详解
1、文本内直接引用的格式
注明作者、年份和引用的具体页码。对于没有页码的材料，给出段落编号或时间戳。参考文献列表中应包含完整的参考文献。示例：
(Smith, 2003, p. 105)
(Brown, 1999, pp. 49-50)
Smith (2003) has argued that "......" (p. 105)
As Brown (1999) found "......" (pp. 49-50)
(Anderson, 2019, 2:17)
Anderson (2019) noted that "...." (2:17)
2、文本内直接引用的位置
(1)少于40个单词的直接引语
Parenthetical reference：可以直接加在引号后，或是加在句尾。确保这句话与引用的是同一句话。
Mindfulness has a range of meanings as it "has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (Crane, 2017, p. 586).
Mindfulness has a range of meanings as it "has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (Crane, 2017, p. 586) and can encompass...
Narrative reference：句子中加上作者，然后在括号中加上年份。然后在引号后的括号中写明页码。
As Crane (2017) said, "Mindfulness has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (p. 586).
As Crane (2017) said, "Mindfulness has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (p. 586) and can encompass....
(2)超过40个单词的直接引语
Parenthetical reference：加在句尾。示例同上图。
Narrative reference：句子中加上作者的姓氏，然后在括号中加上年份，放在引号之前。最后将页码加在括号中，放在整行引用的末尾。
