September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL APA Citation Style Rules and conventions established by the American Psychological Association for documenting sources used in a research paper

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Introduction This presentation is based on the 6th edition (2010) of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA). It is not a comprehensive guide. For all rules and requirements of APA citations, please consult the 6th edition of the APA Manual.

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Why do we cite? To provide a way to access the sources used To ensure the accuracy of scientific knowledge To protect the rights of authors (the original source for the material) To promote ethical responsibility and academic consistency in a discipline's writing community If you do not cite and document your sources correctly, you run the risk of plagiarism ( )

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Citations In Text

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL General Information APA uses the author-date method of citation. The last name of the author and the date of publication are inserted in the text in the appropriate place. When referencing or summarizing a source, provide the author and year. When quoting or summarizing a particular passage, include the specific page or paragraph number, as well. When quoting in your paper, if a direct quote is less than 40 words, incorporate it into your text and use quotation marks. If a direct quote is more than 40 words, make the quotation a free-standing indented block of text and DO NOT use quotation marks.

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Point of view and voice in an APA paper -- Use the third person point of view rather than using the first person point of view or the passive voice; e.g., The study showed that…, NOT I found out that…. The active voice rather than passive voice; e.g., The participants responded…, NOT The participants have been asked….

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL EXAMPLES OF IN-TEXT CITATION – One work by one author In one developmental study (Smith, 1990), children learned... OR In the study by Smith (1990), primary school children learned... OR In 1990, Smith’s study of primary school children…

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Works by multiple authors When a work has 2 authors cite both names every time you reference the work in the text. (Berndt, 2002; Harlow, 1983) Some feminists researchers question that “women's responses to the war have been ignored” (Raitt & Tate, 1997, p. 2).

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Works by multiple authors When a work has three to five authors cite all the author names the first time the reference occurs and then subsequently include only the first author followed by et al. For example: First citation: Masserton, Slonowski, and Slowinski (1989) state that... Subsequent citations: Masserton et al. (1989) state that... For 6 or more authors, cite only the name of the first author followed by et al. and the year. Harris et al. (2001) argued... (Harris et al., 2001)

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Works by no identified author When a resource has no named author, cite the first few words of the reference entry (usually the title). Use double quotation marks around the title of an article, chapter, or Web page. Italicize the title of a periodical, book, brochure, or report. The site seemed to indicate support for homeopathic drugs (“Medical Miracles,” 2009). The brochure argues for homeschooling (Education Reform, 2007).

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Two or more works in the same parenthetical citation Citations of two or more works in the same parentheses should be listed in the order they appear in the reference list Several studies (Jones & Powell, 1993; Peterson, 1995, 1998; Smith, 1990) suggest that...

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Specific parts of a source Always give the page number for quotations or to indicate information from a specific table, chart, chapter, graph, or page. The word page is abbreviated but not chapter. For example: The painting was assumed to be by Matisse (Powell, 1989, Chapter 6), but later analysis showed it to be a forgery (Murphy, 1999, p. 85).

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL In-text Citations: Format for a quotation When quoting, introduce the quotation with a signal phrase. Make sure to include the author’s name, the year of publication, the page number, but keep the citation brief— do not repeat the information. Caruth (1996) states that a traumatic response frequently entails a “delayed, uncontrolled repetitive appearance of hallucinations and other intrusive phenomena” (p.11). A traumatic response frequently entails a “delayed, uncontrolled repetitive appearance of hallucinations and other intrusive phenomena” (Caruth, 1996, p.11)

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Citing Indirect Sources If you use a source that was cited in another source, name the original source in your signal phrase. List the secondary source in your reference list and include the secondary source in the parentheses. Johnson argued that...(as cited in Smith, 2003, p.102).

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Basic Information In general, references should contain: Title Author name Publication date Publication information

September 14, 2015 Instructor: Gloria Mohammad WORKSHOP FALL Special Guidelines For information obtained electronically or online include the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) DOI - a unique alphanumeric string assigned to identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the internet. The DOI is typically located on the first page of the electronic journal article near the copyright notice. When a DOI is used in your citation, no other retrieval information is needed. Use this format for the DOI in references: doi:xxxxxxx If no DOI has been assigned to the content, provide the home page URL of the journal or of the book or report publisher. Do not insert a hyphen if you need to break a URL across lines; do not add a period after a URL, to prevent the impression that the period is part of the URL.

Indentation: The first line of the entry is flush with the left margin, and all subsequent lines are indented (5 to 7 spaces) to form a "hanging indent."
