3 3 APA Citation Style APA citation style refers to the guidelines established by the American Psychological Association for documenting sources used in a research paper. APA style involves both in-text citations and references list. For every in-text citation there should be a full citation in the references list and vice versa. The examples of APA styles and formats listed below include many of the most common types of sources used in academic research. For additional examples and detailed information about APA citation style, refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6 th edition) and the APA Style Guide to Electronic References (6 th edition). Also, for automatic generation of citations in appropriate citation style, use a bibliographic citation management program such as RefWorks available through the University Libraries website. A. In-Text Citations In APA style, in-text citations are placed within sentences and paragraphs so that it is clear what information is being quoted or paraphrased and whose work is being acknowledged. 1. Types and Variations Works by a single author The last name of the author and the year of publication are inserted in the text at the appropriate point. Example: from theory on bounded rationality (Simon, 1945). If the name of the author appears as part of the narrative text, provide the date and any other info between parentheses. Example: Simon (1945) suggested that

4 4 Works by multiple authors When a work has two authors, always cite both names every time the reference occurs in the text. In parenthetical citation join the names with an ampersand (&). Example: as has been shown (Leiter & Maslach, 1998). In the narrative text, join the names with the word "and." Example: as Leiter and Maslach (1998) demonstrated When a work has three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the first time the reference occurs. Example: Kahneman, Knetsch, and Thaler (1991) found that In all subsequent citations per paragraph, include only the surname of the first author followed by "et al." (Latin for "and others") and the year of publication. Example: Kahneman et al. (1991) found that And (Kahneman et al., 1991) at the end of the paragraph Works by associations, corporations, government agencies, etc. The names of groups that serve as authors (corporate authors) are spelled out entirely in the first reference and abbreviated in all subsequent citations. Example: First time citation (National Institute of Mental Health [NIMH], 2007). Subsequent citation (NIMH, 2007). The general rule for abbreviating in this manner is to supply enough information in the text citation for the reader to locate its source in the reference list without difficulty. Works with no author or anonymous author When a work has no author, use the first two or three words of the work's title in the in-text citation, capitalizing the first letter of each word. Place the title in quotation marks if it refers to an article, chapter of a book, or web page. Italicize the title if it refers to a book, periodical, brochure, or report. Example:

5 5 when temperature change ("Climate and Weather," 1997). Guide to Agricultural Meteorological Practices (1981). When a work s author is designated as anonymous, type the word Anonymous followed by a comma and date. Example: on climate change (Anonymous, 2008). Specific parts of a source To cite a specific part of a source (always necessary for quotations) include the author, year, chapter if available, and specific page(s). Example: (Shimamura, 1989, Chapter 3). (Stigter & Das, 1981, p. 96). De Waal (1996) overstated the case when he asserted that "we seem to be reaching... from the hands of philosophers" (p. 218). If page numbers are not included, provide the paragraph number preceded by the abbreviation "para." Example: (Mönnich & Spiering, 2008, para. 9). For in-text citation of a Wiki engine put the name of the entry between quotation marks followed by a comma and the year, replace the date by n.d. which stands for no date in case the date is not available, and add any specific section in the article. Example: Facebook is one of the most used ( Social media, 1996). ( World economy, n.d., para. 5) Citing a secondary source It is preferable to credit the original work unless it is out of print, or unavailable; in this case only use the citation for the secondary source. Credit the original source right after the quote by adding the words "as cited in..." to show that you have quoted a secondary source, rather than the original. List the secondary source in your references. Example:

6 6...Adams asserts in her book Chicken Little that "without a doubt, the chicken came before the egg" (as cited in Smith, 2005). Multiple in-text citations Include multiple citations inside the same set of parentheses when needed, alphabetize the sources as they would appear in the reference list and separate them by semicolons (;). In running text, you can address sources in whatever order you wish, examples: 2. Quoting and Paraphrasing Quoting is a word-for-word repetition of something written or spoken. Quotes add authenticity and impact to your paper; yet keep them as brief as possible. Use quotation marks directly before and at the end of what has been quoted. Direct quotations should always include the author s last name, year of publication and page number of the quote. If the quotation comprises fewer than 40 words, incorporate it within the text, and follow the proper citation format. Example of a direct quotation within the text Such activity, claims Stein (1990), provides them with a means to explore implications of ideas, to find their strengths and weaknesses, to evaluate their usefulness in real-world situations (p. 25). Example of a standalone direct quotation The low self-monitoring person is generally more attentive to his/her internal attitudes and dispositions than to externally based information such as others reactions and expectations (Baxter, 1983, p. 29).

7 7 Example of a long quotation A long quotation (more than 40 words) should be placed in a freestanding block of text where no quotation marks are required, cite the quoted source in parentheses after the final punctuation mark. Example: Aniline is the prototypical aromatic amine with the formula C6H5NH2. It can be utilized to determine the aromaticity of oil products such as FCC feedstock. Aniline point is the lowest temperature at which an equal volume of aniline and an oil sample are completely miscible. The mixture is heated until there is single phase and then it is cooled. (Issa, 2015, p. 16) Paraphrasing is a restatement of written or spoken text in different words. It does not require special punctuation even though you may be using some words from the original text along with your own words. Summarizing is also often used to brief a great deal of information into a few words. Paraphrasing and summarizing information requires the author s last name and year of publication. Provide page, section, or paragraph number if available. Examples of paraphrasing and summarizing Officials at the University of Delaware thought that letting parents know when students violate regulations on alcohol use would alter students drinking habits (Reisberg, 1998). According to Baxter (1983), if a person has a low self-monitor, then he/she tends to pay more attention to his/her attitudes, rather than to the ways others might expect him/her to behave.

8 8 B. References A good reference contains enough information to lead your reader to the source you used, sources cited or used in the text of a paper must appear in the references list. Follow the below instructions when formatting and typing your references. Title: Start the list on a new page titled: References (centered and 12pt.) Font: Use Times New Roman, size 12pt. Line spacing: Use double space. Margins: Use uniform margins of 1 inch (2.54cm) at the top, bottom, and left. Leave the right margin ragged (not justified). Order: Entries should be arranged in alphabetical order (A-Z) by authors' last names. Sources without authors are arranged alphabetically by title within the same list. Authors: Write out the last name and initials of the first and middle name for all authors of the used work. Use an ampersand (&) instead of the word "and" when listing multiple authors of a single work. e.g. Smith, J. D., & Jones, M. Use a full stop and one space after each initial. Indentation: The first line of the entry is aligned with the left margin, and all subsequent lines are indented 1/2 inch (1.27cm) or use tab button to form a "hanging indent". Entry titles: Capitalize only the first word of a title or subtitle, and any proper names that are part of a title, as well as titles of journals. Italics: Use italics for titles of works (e.g., books, journals, e-books, report [technical, government, etc.], dissertation, thesis, film, video, television series, podcast, YouTube video, artwork, map, music album, unpublished manuscript) and volume numbers of periodicals. Do NOT italicize issue numbers. Pagination abbreviation: Use the abbreviation p. or pp. to designate page numbers of articles from periodicals that do not use volume numbers, especially newspapers; the same applies to encyclopedia articles and chapters from edited books.

9 9 1. Types and Variations For online accessed works, and besides following the basic format of each type and variation, additional two pieces of information should be included: Internet address: A stable internet address should be included to direct the reader as close as possible to the actual work. If the work has a digital object identifier (DOI) 1, use it. If there is no DOI, use a stable uniform resource locator (URL). If the URL is not stable, as is often the case with online newspapers and some subscription-based databases, use the home page of the site you retrieved the work from. Break long URL before major punctuation (/ or -) and remove hyperlink. Example: _style_guide.pdf Date: If the work is a finalized version published and dated, as in the case of a journal article, the date within the main body of the citation is enough. However, if the work is not dated and/or is subject to change, as in the case of an online encyclopedia entry, include the date that you retrieved the information. 1.1 Periodicals (Articles in Journals, Magazines, Newspapers, & Newsletters) Articles in Journals References for periodicals articles should include the following elements: author(s), date of publication, article title, journal title, volume number, issue number (if available), and page number(s). In case accessed online and has an assigned DOI number, include it at the end after the pages. If no DOI assigned, add retrieved from followed by the exact URL. Basic format: Family name, Initial., Family name, Initial., & Family name, Initial. (year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, volume number(issue number), pages. doi: xx.xxx/yyyyy-zzzz.xx 11 A DOI, or digital object identifier, is a unique alphanumeric and permanent identifier, usually found on the abstract page, which will take you straight to a document no matter where it is located on the Internet. Example: doi: /
