Question

As part of a team case study, I have been tasked to write the position statement. The instructions are specific that I am only to use the case study for my information and that I am to recognize the case authors at the end of the position statement. Question is, since I am not directly quoting the case authors in the position statement, am I required to cite them anywhere in the statement other than the recognition at the end of the statement?
APA format.

Thanks
