  1. APA6 Referencing & EndNote Dr. Jonathan Stirk Dr. Ruth Filik

  2. What is APA? • APA • American Psychological Association • Series of rules and guidelines about how to prepare an article using a specific formatting style • Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition)

  3. APA Manual • Guidance on grammar • Mechanics of writing • Reference and citation system • Comprehensive coverage of the treatment of numbers, metrication, statistical and mathematical data, tables, and figures for use in writing, reports, or presentations.

  4. References & In-text citations • The APA manual gives comprehensive guidelines on how to cite numerous sources (e.g. books, journal articles) and how to construct a reference list • This class is going to show you how to use APA referencing style manually and also how to work faster using EndNote

  5. Let’s look at a book! • What do we need? • Author(s) – Surnames and Initials • Title of book • Date of publication • Place (City) of publication • Name of publisher

  6. What info is here on the front? • Not much! • Just the title and author • So let’s look inside the front cover

  7. So, published in 2006 by Psychology Press in both Hove and New York • Now we can construct an entry for the reference list

  8. Reference for a book • Surname, Initial(s). (Year). Title. Place of publication: Publisher. • Eysenck, M.W. (2006). Fundamentals of cognition. Hove & New York: Psychology Press. • In text: • Eysenck (2006) suggested that cognition was…..

  9. How about a chapter in an edited book! • An edited book has one or more editors but with a number of specialist chapters written by different authors • For example, my book on crossmodal attention (Chapter 1): • King, A.J. (2004). Development of multisensory spatial integration. In C. Spence & J. Driver (Eds.) , Crossmodal space and crossmodal attention (pp. 1-24). New York: Oxford University Press.

  10. Now for a journal article • What do we need? • Author(s) – Surnames and Initials • Title of article • Date of publication • Title of Journal • Volume • Pages of article

  11. All of the info we need is on the 1st page of this article. • Sometimes you may have to “extract” info from other pages

  12. Reference for an article • Author(s). (date). Article title. Name of Journal, Volume, page numbers. • Hunt, A.R., Cooper, R.M., Hungr, C., & Kingstone, A. (2007). The effect of emotional faces on eye movements and attention. Visual Cognition, 15(5), 513-531. • Note: If a volume has an issue, as above, it goes after the volume in brackets but is NOT italicised

  13. Using EndNote • We can store reference information in a software package and then have the program format our reference list correctly!

  14. References will appear in this window Ok so now we can open up EndNote and put in some references

  15. Exporting from web to EndNote Access E-library

  16. Log in and select a database to search

  17. ISI Web of science is useful WoS is a useful search database

  18. Look for the ‘Save to EndNote’ features in many database export screens When you choose to export to EndNote, you should then choose ‘Open with : Web Export Helper’ and you will then be given the choice of which EndNote database to open from your machine.

  19. Now you have the correctly formatted reference in EndNote You can also use EndNote’s in-built search capability (Menu bar: Tools – Online search – New Search)
