Rivier College Writing & Resource Center Using APA: Creating a Reference Page
(Updated October 2012—APA 6th Edition) General Guidelines for Formatting a Reference Page
Your reference list provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the essay. Each source you cite in the essay must appear in your reference list (except for personal communications); each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.  Start the reference list on a new page. Type the word References in upper and lowercase letters, centered, at the top of the page on the first line below the page header; do not underline, and do not put it in quotation marks. Your reference list must be in alphabetical order according to author’s last name; if no author is given for a particular source, alphabetize by the title of the piece and use a shortened version of the title for parenthetical citations. If you have more than one work by a particular author, order them by publication date, oldest to newest. Provide first initial (and not first name) and middle initial (if provided) for all authors of a particular work. Capitalize only the first word of a title or subtitle of a work unless it is a proper noun. Italicize titles of books and journals—note that the italics extend to include the volume number of a periodical as well as the period at the end of a book title. Use “&” instead of “and” when listing multiple authors of a single work. The first line of each entry in your Reference list should be at your left margin; subsequent lines should be indented ½ inch. The entire Reference page must be double-spaced—do not add extra spacing between entries. Space once after periods that separate parts of a reference citation. Provide the year of publication only—the only exception to this is if you are referencing a monthly or weekly magazine or a newspaper article. References to academic journals should NOT include the month or date. Personal communications (emails, interviews, lectures, speeches, telephone conversations) do not appear in the reference list. They should, however, be cited in the body of your paper. Example: J. Burnitz (personal communication, September 20, 2009) indicated that .… or In a recent class lecture (K. Frenn, NSG 101, April 19, 2009), I learned that ….

FINDING AND USING A DOI (Digital Object Identifier)
APA recommends providing a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), when it is available, as opposed to the URL. The use of a DOI attempts to provide stable, long-lasting links for online articles. Many publishers will provide an article's DOI on the first page of the document or on the results page.

If an online journal article has a DOI, it will be provided on the first page of the article

If an article from an online database (such as EBSCOHost) has a DOI, it will be provided on the Results Page

The DOI will also be provided at the bottom of the database landing page (the first page of the listing)

...Running head: EXAMPLE PAPER FOR GRADING APA Example Paper for the Writing and Grading of Students’ Papers in the American Psychological Association (APA) Style Norm Stradleigh Course Information Professor Information Date Due Note: The title page establishes the reader’s first impression with the author’s work. Its importance cannot be over-emphasized. Visually center the title block on the page. The title block consists of the title, the author’s name, and the byline. The title is a description of the focus of the paper and should not have comments such as “A Research Paper on…,” as that would be redundant with the expressed purpose of a research paper. APA suggests a title of 10 to 12 words (American Psychological Association (APA), p. 11). Following the title is the name of the author(s). It is double-spaced and centered below the title. Double-spaced and centered below the author’s name is the byline. The byline is the name of the institution or institutions where the work was completed (APA, pp. 11-12). The words “Running head” followed by a colon appear on the title page only; left justified (one-inch margin) and one inch from the top of the paper. Following “Running head:” is a short form of the title, all capitalized. This shortened title has a maximum of 50 characters, including spaces and punctuation (APA, p. 12).

...Following APA 6th Edition Formatting Style Johanna P. Bishop Wilmington University The Basics of Formatting a Paper in APA 6th ed. Style Introduction In order for a paper to be perfectly formatted in accordance to APA style requirements, the paper must follow certain conventions. The basic conventions include making sure that specific rules are followed regarding margins, spacing, in-text citations and formatting the cover and reference pages. Understanding what these conventions are and how to follow them will help students to properly format their papers in APA style. This paper has been formatted in APA style so that it serves as an example of what properly formatted APA style papers look like. Basic APA Conventions The most basic convention in following APA formatting is to use a one inch margin all around for the paper. Students should pay attention to what version of Microsoft office they use as the older version has set the left and right default margins to 1.25 inches while the top and bottom margins are set to one inch. That means students will have to manually adjust the margins to one inch all around. Newer versions of Microsoft Word have set the default margins to one inch all around. Preferred Font Another basic element of APA style papers is the font used. The preferred font style is Times Roman 12 point font. Since the default font for MS Word 2007 is Calibri, students will need to reset the default font on MS Word 2007. Students using older versions...

Plagiarism is regarded as a very serious offence (see your programme’s Student Handbook). Learning to reference correctly is your best protection against charges of plagiarism.

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...
