26. Citing Sources of Information: APA Style26

27. Citing References
Allows you to use other people’s work by giving credit to the original author without plagiarizing
Provides documentation for all facts and figures that are not common knowledge
Strengthens your work by lending outside support to your arguments
Provides the source information for others who wants to find out more about your ideas
Accurately prepared references help establish your credibility as a careful researcher
Out of order/incomplete citations cause inaccurate citation network indexing 27

28. What’s the difference between reference list and bibliography?
A reference list consists of all sources cited in the text of a paper, listed alphabetically by author’s surname.
A bibliography may include resources that were consulted but not cited in the text as well as an annotated description of each one.
Bibliographies may be organized chronologically, or by subject, rather than alphabetically. 28

Quotations more than 40 words Display it in a freestanding block of text and omit the quotation marks 2. At the end of a block quotation, cite the quoted source and the page or paragraph number in parentheses after the final punctuation mark 3. Indent the block about a half inch from the left margin (in the same position as a new paragraph) 40
