Q. How do I use ellipses in APA style?

You should use three spaced out ellipses points (. . .) whenever you have omitted words from the original source quote. Ellipses are unnecessary for paraphrasing. If you are using an ellipses that combines two sentences use four periods. You should not use ellipses at the beginning or end of a quote.
