4. Helping Students Understand the Need for APA Format John Doe: I don't like the citing AT ALL! I honestly hate it. I can’t figure it out and I think it totally takes away from what I am reading. It’s like a big blotch on an otherwise good paper. Not just with my own writing, but with ANY writing.

5. Make It Personal Ideas, words, photography, artwork, music, videos, and other products you create are yours, and no one has the right to take your products and pass them off as their own, whether intentionally or unintentionally. To do so is stealing, and the people who do this are misrepresenting themselves. When it comes to writing in school or the workplace, this principle is adhered to strictly.

6. Helpful Articles In 1998 The New Republic fired Stephen Glass for lying and plagiarizing the majority of articles he wrote for their publication: http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/1998/09/bissinger199809 In 2003 The New York Times fired reporter Jayson Blair for plagiarism. This was a very high-profile case, and made headlines in other major news services. Blair plagiarized at least 36 of the 73 articles he wrote. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/11/us/correcting-the-record-times-reporter-who-resigned-leaves-long- trail-of-deception.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/11/us/correcting-the-record-times-reporter-who-resigned-leaves-long- trail-of-deception.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm Rolling Stone Magazine’s 2015 issue with a lack of journalistic integrity: http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/a-rape-on-campus-what-went-wrong-20150405 http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/a-rape-on-campus-what-went-wrong-20150405 Brian William’s 2015 suspension from NBC News for lying in several news reports: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/04/nbc-news-brian-williams-scandal-comcast

7. What is APA Citation? Citing sources means acknowledging the source of the information you included in your paper from books, articles, or other sources. The reasons you provide citations are (1) to give proper credit for words, ideas, graphics, or other information you borrow from others, and (2) to help readers find sources you used in case they want to read more from those pieces. Two main terms are associated with citation: in-text citation and full reference citation.

8. In-Text Citation An in-text citation is a shortened version of a source’s bibliographic information that is inserted right into the text of a paper to indicate to readers that the information in that sentence was borrowed from someone else. The bibliographic information is shortened because a full entry with all of the specifics needed to look up a source would interfere with reading your paper. In-text citation format varies between quotations and paraphrases and depending on what information is available to you from the original document, but most in-text citations in APA format will include the author’s last name and the publication year.

9. Example APA In-Text Citations The following is an example of an in-text citation for a paraphrase or summary: (Smith, 2015). If the information being cited was a quote, in addition to quotation marks [“…”] being put around the quoted text, the parenthetical citation would also include the page number: (Smith, 2008, p. 5). If individual authors are not named, you would use the name of the sponsoring organization as the author. Government agencies also fall under this category. For example, if you were paraphrasing from an article on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, you would use the following format: (CDC, 2015). If neither an author nor sponsoring organization is unidentified, you would instead enclose the title of the article in quotation marks along with year of publication as shown here: (“APA and You,” 2009).

10. Reference Page Citations A full reference citation is all of the information readers need if they want to retrieve an article, book, or other source cited in your paper. In APA format, these citations are listed on a separate page called the reference page. Readers use in-text citations to cross-reference the full citation at the end of the document. For instance, if an in-text citation looks like this: (Smith, 2015), a reader can turn to the reference page, scan down the list of full citations and look for the book or article written by an author with the last name Smith and published in the year 2015. A sample full citation in APA for a book looks like this: Smith, J. (2015). APA and you. New York, NY: Scribner and Sons.
