  9. When to Cite • Opinions, beliefs, ideas and theories from any source • Direct quotes of the words used • Summarized or paraphrased ideas • Any information obtained that isnot common knowledge See APA (6th ed.), p. 169

  10. Ethical Use of Information & Plagiarism • Scholars are responsible for ethically using information. This includes correct citation. • Not properly citing the use of other people’s words, ideas, theories, and/or information is considered plagiarism.

  11. Self-Plagiarism • Re-using your own work is a form of plagiarism

  12. Why Cite? • To give credit to others ideas and words (this includes charts, tables, and other graphics) that have influenced your work • To allow your reader to find your sources

  13. APA In-Text Citation What should you include? The author, year of publication, and page number(s) or paragraph number for non-paginated materials are always included in the text and a reference citation is included in the reference list. See APA manual (6th ed.),  pp. 170-172.

  14. Some examples E-book reader According to Freud (1900/2004), "Dreams can be interpreted" (Chapter 2, Section 6, para. 7). Article retrieved online See APA (6th ed.), p. 173, section 6.05 The author coined the phrase "goblet of motivation" (Macias, 2008, para. 22). Article that has section headings retrieved online The research concluded that "the charges were unfounded" (McKay, 2009, Conclusion, para. 3).

  15. APA In-Text Citation: Direct Quotations DIRECT – Within the text of your paper According to Mickalowski, Mickelson, and Keltgen (2008), “Apple parlayed the strong reputation of the Apple brand and the iPod’s success to enter a lucrative cell phone market” (p. 283). According to Mickalowski, Mickelson, and Keltgen (2008), “Apple parlayed the strong reputation of the Apple brand and the iPod’s success to enter a lucrative cell phone market” (para. 22).

  16. APA In-Text Citation: Block Quotations BLOCK – Used if the direct quotation is over 40 words According to Mickalowski, Mickelson, and Keltgen (2008): Apple parlayed the strong reputation of the Apple brand and the iPod’s success to enter a lucrative cell phone market, a step that may ward off a potential threat to Apple as other companies introduce devices that have strong music-storing and playback capabilities. (p. 283-284)

  17. APA In-Text Citation: Paraphrased Information • BEGINNING OF SENTENCE • Mickalowski, Mickelson, and Keltgen (2008) believe Apple used their lead in the portable music player market to strategically time the iPhone’s launch. • MIDDLE OF SENTENCE • Without the success of the iPod, Mickalowski, Mickelson, and Keltgen (2008) believe Apple’s launch of the iPhone would not have been profitable as it was. • END OF SENTENCE • The success of Apple’s iPhone launch is strongly tied to the existing success of the iPod (Mickalowski, Mickelson, and Keltgen, 2008). • PARAPHRASING • TIP: Read the original material, put it out of sight, and restate the idea/concept in your own words. • Must be cited with the author and year of publication of the original source; page number is optional. (Page number is required for direct quotes!)

  18. Reference Citations • Start list on a new page, with References centered at the top of the page. • Double spaced with hanging indent • Alphabetize by author’s last name or name of the corporate author • Every in-text citation should be listed in your references; every reference should have a corresponding in-text citation!
