Q. How do I cite a personal interview in APA style?
Last Updated: Feb 17, 2022     Views: 671

According to the Online Writing Lab at Purdue University:

No personal communication is included in your reference list; instead, parenthetically cite the communicator's name, the phrase "personal communication," and the date of the communication in your main text only.

(E. Robbins, personal communication, January 4, 2001).
A. P. Smith also claimed that many of her students had difficulties with APA style (personal communication, November 3, 2002).
