...APA Checklist: Formatting & Punctuating In-Text Citations __Introducing Authors' Names and Titles: In APA style, author names are presented in the first initial with last name format, such as J. Cameron (for Julia Cameron). At the first mention, use the author's first initial and last name with the date of publication in parentheses just after the author’s last name. It’s also a good idea to mention the full title of the work the first time you mention it, to help acquaint readers with your source. After that, refer to the author by his/her last name. Do not use titles such as Dr., Mrs., or Mr. After the first mention, refer to the author by last name only. J. Cameron (2002) discussed the importance of a writer's attitude in her essay, "Let Yourself Listen." Cameron has written several books about writing, including The Artist’s Way. You may also mention the publication date in the sentence itself, such as in this example: In 2002, J. Cameron discussed the importance of a writer’s attitude in her essay, “Let Yourself Listen.” __Signal Phrases and Quotations: Never let a quote stand alone. Use signal phrases, such as “She proved” or ‘He claims that” to introduce a quote, and then explain its importance to your reader. Use past (e.g., “Kim proved”) or present perfect tense (e.g., “Kim has proved”) for past events and literature reviews. Use past to describe results (e.g., “Stocks fell”). Use present tense to discuss results and present conclusions (e.g., “the outcomes...

...popular reference styles adopted by writers and scholars. MLA and APA reference styles are the common styles adopted. DIIFERENCES BETWEEN APA AND MLA American Psychological Association (APA) and Modern Language Association (MLA) are writing and formatting styles used in papers, reports, and academic essays. APA is predominately used in the social sciences while MLA is predominately used in the liberal arts and humanities. The guidelines provide overall formatting for content, style and references. While they have many similarities, there are also many differences. Despite their differences, the APA and MLA citation systems have the same overall function in a research paper—sources are acknowledged via in-text citations, each of which corresponds to an entry in an alphabetical list of works at the end of the paper, referred to as “Works Cited” in MLA Style and “References” in APA Style. However, the MLA Handbook also mentions some variations, such as a “Works Consulted” list, which contains sources not cited within the body of the paper, and an annotated bibliography, which includes a brief description or evaluation of each source. APA Style does not use these alternate methods The differences between the two styles become even more apparent when one is creating text citations. MLA Style includes the author’s last name and the page number, whether citing a direct quotation or not. However, APA Style text citations also include the publication date, because the timeliness of research...

...Citing Sources Using APA Manual (6th ed.) APA Manual and Recent Updates Section 4 This section of the Library Handbook addresses how to cite recourses used in the body and the reference list of your document using the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). Common examples for parenthetical text citations, citing direct quotes, and reference citations in the reference list are provided, but for a more comprehensive list, see the APA manual (6th ed.). Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism Plagiarism is the use of another person’s ideas or words without giving them the proper credit. Plagiarism can occur when you use someone else’s exact words without giving them credit, taking credit for someone else’s ideas, or even presenting your own past work as a new idea. Academic institutions take both intentional and unintentional plagiarism seriously, and it can be grounds for dismissal. According to the APA manual (6th ed.), the best method of avoiding plagiarism is to cite the ideas, theories, and research that directly influenced your work, cite key background information, information that may support or dispute your theory or hypothesis, or offer critical definitions or data (p. 169). Document all facts and figures that are not common knowledge. For journal articles and class assignments, APA recommends using one or two of the most representative sources for each key point, but for the literature review for a dissertation, you should include a...

You are required to use APA format and utilize the References feature in Word for the required footnotes and for the creation of citations and the References list. Note that although MS Word used Bibliography or Works Cited as the title for the References list, you will need to change the words to “References.” Good resources include the UMUC Library website, the chapters on Microsoft Word in your hands-on textbook, the Williams/Sawyer textbook, and the resources that can be found under Course Content in your WebTycho classroom: Writing Resources, the Online Guide to Writing and Research, and the APA Tutorial.

See: The American Psychological Association. (2010). Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). Washington, DC: American Psychological Association. Copies of this manual are available at the LCC Library and are located on the 2nd (Ref BF 76.7 .P83 2010) and 3rd floor (BF 76.7 .P83 2010). Information is also available at: • www.lcc.edu/library/research-help/citation BASIC FORMAT AUTHOR-DATE STYLE In addition to having a references list at the end of your paper, you must give credit to sources that you use within your paper. Usually the author’s last name and publication date are enough for the reader to identify the complete reference in the references list. See the examples below for variations of this general rule. Author’s name in text APA Manual 6.11 (p. 174) If you cite the author’s name in your paper, cite only the publication year in parentheses at the end of the sentence: Citing two authors APA Manual 6.12 (p. 175) Cite both authors’ last names and the publication date every time you refer to the work in your paper.

Introduction to APA Style What is APA style? APA is an editorial style recommended by the American Psychological Association (APA) for preparing scholarly manuscripts and student research papers. It is the standard format for papers, articles, and books in the social sciences. In addition to providing standardized rules for formatting a paper (margins, line spacing, etc.), APA style provides a consistent method for citing ideas, quotations, facts, and paraphrases borrowed from other sources. This standardized format for identifying sources used in a paper makes the paper more credible and ensures that other authors are given credit for their original thoughts and ideas. Are there other styles? Just as APA style is used by teachers in the social sciences, teachers in the arts and humanities may ask you to format your paper in MLA style; a history professor may ask you to use Chicago or Turabian; a biology professor might want you to submit a paper in yet another format. There are slight differences between the formats and each has a unique set of rules. Note the differences between the APA and...

...European Studies Writing Lab Plagiarism, Referencing and APA Style European Studies and The Hague University of Applied Sciences have a strict policy towards plagiarism and insist that all students use APA Style referencing to prevent accidental plagiarism. APA Style is a set of rules for writing research reports and documenting sources in academic writing that was created by the American Psychological Association to standardise practices in the social sciences. It is the standard for academic writing at The Hague University of Applied Sciences and includes a standard format for Research Reports and for documenting information you use from sources. Documenting Sources and Plagiarism Plagiarism refers to using someone else’s ideas or words without giving them credit or passing someone else’s work off as your own. Most of the time, this happens by accident: a student borrows some information or text from a website and forgets to properly indicate what they’ve done. There are more extreme cases, in which students deliberately copy someone else’s work, in violation of the Code of Conduct at European Studies, which insists that “we are always honest with each other and with ourselves,”1 but thankfully, these cases are rare. It is essential that, whenever you write something, you make sure that you clearly label anything you did not write yourself so that you never have to be accused of plagiarism. APA style gives you the tools to do this. In-Text Referencing ...
