Transcription

1 Sample Citations for Citing Print & Electronic Resources APA 6 th edition (American Psychological Assn) The APA style uses both parenthetical citations and a "References" section at the end of the paper. The first part of this guide shows the format for the parenthetical citation and the rest of the guide shows how to format citations for the References part of a paper. What is citing in text or Parenthetical citation? This approach has the writer reference an article or book within the text of the paper. The full bibliographic reference must also appear at the end of the paper. To cite a specific part of a source within the text of a paper or manuscript, indicate the page, chapter, figure, table, or equation at the appropriate point in the text. Example: VandenBos (2001) measured his student's retention rate Example: In a recent study of retention rates (VandenBos, 2001) a new phenomenon was noted Example: (Callis & Palmer, 1991, p. 332) Example: (McNeir, 1999, chap. 3) Example: Research by Tetlock, Skitka and Boettger (1989) indicates that individuals tailor their communication to guide the audience. 1 Parenthetical reference when there is no author -- In the text of your paper, use a few words of the title, or the whole title if it is short, in place of an author name in the citation: Example: One meaning of the word capital is accumulated wealth or property.(merriam-webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 1993). How to Cite Internet & Electronic Resources for the References List Aggregated databases (library subscription databases) When referencing material obtained by searching a library subscription database, follow the format appropriate to the work retrieved and add a retrieval statement that gives the date of retrieval and the proper name of the database.
