  1. Citations Citing and referencing in APA style

  2. What is APA? • American Psychological Association • Oversees publication of books and journals • Provides a standard editorial style for manuscripts • “Without APA style conventions, the time and effort required to review and edit manuscripts would prohibit timely and cost-effective publication and would make clear communication harder to achieve” (APA, 2001, pp. xxi).

  3. APA Style: Language Language in an APA paper is: clear: be specific in descriptions and explanations concise: condense information when you can plain: use simple, descriptive adjectives and minimize figurative language

  4. TONE • Scientific, not literary, writing • Be clear, concise, and formal • No long-winded sentences loaded with descriptive words • Example: • Sally Richards is an unfortunate person afflicted with bipolar disorder. Her emotions are like a rollercoaster, sometimes she’s really happy and sometimes she’s down in the dumps. • Sally Richards is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a disorder characterized by dramatic mood swings.

  5. FORMAT • Always double space • 1 inch margins right, left, top, and bottom • 12 pt. Times New Roman

  6. Citations • What to cite • Any facts, statistics, graphs, and drawings that aren’t common knowledge • Quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words • Another person’s ideas, opinions, examples, or theory • Paraphrases of another person’s spoken or written words

  7. Citations • In text citations • References

  8. In-text Citations • In-text citations help readers locate the cited source in the References section of the paper. • Whenever you use a source, provide in parenthesis: • for paraphrases, the author’s last name, and the date of publication • for quotations and close paraphrases, the author’s last name, date of publication, and a page number

  9. In-text Citations Paraphrase without name: Though feminist studies focus solely on women's experiences, they err by collectively perpetuating the masculine-centered impressions (Fussell, 1975).

  10. In-text Citations Paraphrase with name: According to Fussel (1975), although feminist studies focus solely on women's experiences, they err by collectively perpetuating the masculine-centered impressions.

  11. In-text Citations Quote with name: Caruth (1996) states that a traumatic response frequently entails a “delayed, uncontrolled repetitive appearance of hallucinations and other intrusive phenomena” (p. 11).

  12. In-text Citations Quote without name: According to Caruth (1996), a traumatic response frequently entails ???. It also causes a “delayed, uncontrolled repetitive appearance of hallucinations and other intrusive phenomena” (p. 11).

  13. FIND THE ERROR According to Jones, "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (1998, p. 199).

  16. Find the Error Hollingshead measured aggressiveness in children before and after exposure to violent videogames (2002, p. 15).

  17. Find the Error Parker (2003) found that there was “no significant difference between the treatment group and the control group.”

  18. CITATIONS One author, more than one studies: Several experiments showed that APA style is hard to memorize (Jones, 1998, 2003)

  19. CITATIONS One author, more than one studies, same year: Two experiments by Jones (1998a, 1998b) showed that APA style is hard to memorize

  20. CITATIONS When citing a work with two authors, use “and” in between authors’ name in the signal phrase yet “&” between their names in parenthesis. According to feminist researchers Raitt and Tate (1997), “It is no longer true to claim that women's responses to the war have been ignored” (p. 2). Some feminists researchers question that “women's responses to the war have been ignored” (Raitt & Tate, 1997, p. 2).

  21. CITATIONS When citing a work with three to five authors, identify all authors in the signal phrase or in parenthesis. (Harklau, Siegal, & Losey, 1999) In subsequent citations, only use the first author's last name followed by "et al." in the signal phrase or in parentheses. (Harklau et al., 1999)

  28. CITATION When citing an organization, mention the organization the first time when you cite the source in the signal phrase or the parenthetical citation. The data collected by the Food and Drug Administration (2008) confirmed that… If the organization has a well-known abbreviation, include the abbreviation in brackets the first time the source is cited and then use only the abbreviation in later citations. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed … FDA’s experts tested…

  29. CITATION When citing a work of unknown author, use the source’s full title in the signal phrase and cite the first word of the title followed by the year of publication in parenthesis. Put titles of articles and chapters in quotation marks; italicize titles of books and reports. According to “Indiana Joins Federal Accountability System” (2008), … Or, (“Indiana,” 2008)

  30. CITATION When citing interviews, letters, e-mails, etc., include the communicator’s name, the fact that it was personal communication, and the date of the communication.

Or, The results of the internal inquiry will not be published (E. Robbins, personal communication, January 4, 2001).

  31. CITATION When citing a book that was reprinted or republished, use this format: Pinkerton (1844/2001) believed that democracy was a two-edged sword

  32. CITATION If original year of publication is known, list that first, followed by slash and year of publication you used. For classical works, cite the translation year. Plato (trans. 1988) maintained that…

  33. FIND THE ERROR The results of the internal inquiry will not be published (E. Robbins, telephone call, 2001).

  34. FIND THE ERROR Pinkerton (originally published in 1844, reprinted in 2001) believed that democracy was a two-edged sword. Socrates (400 B.C.) felt the same way.
