APA style

(American Psychological Association)


• APA is an organization created for individuals
in the psychology field.

• Today, this format is used by individuals not


only in the psychology field, but many other
subject areas as well.

• It is currently in its 7th edition, which was


released in 2019.
Why reference?
It is important (morally & legally) to
acknowledge someone else’s ideas or
words you have used. Academic writing
encourages paraphrasing information you
have researched and read.
***** If you use someone else’s words or work and fail to
acknowledge them – you may be accused of plagiarism and
infringing copyright.
How do I do an in-text citation in
APA style?
The author's last name and the date can be included at
the beginning, middle, or end of the paraphrased
sentence. You also want to include page numbers to help
the reader find the relevant text

Example:

Michaelson (2016) examined the use of novels in business


ethics education (pp. 594-598).
Paraphrasing tips:
• Start your first sentence at a different point from that of the original source
• Use synonyms (words that mean the same thing)
Example: power” → “immense influence”
• Change the sentence structure (e.g. from active to passive voice)
Example: The police caught the thief.
The thief was caught by the police.
• Break the information into separate sentences
Use the ff verbs in paraphrasing when the
author is:

Neutral: Argues: Suggests or infers:


comments argues concludes
describes claims finds
explains contends predicts
illustrates maintains proposes
notes insists reveals
speculates
suggests
considers
2 main parts to
referencing:
The first indicating within your assignment the sources
of the information you have used to write your
assignment. This demonstrates support for your ideas,
arguments and views.

Example:
• Derwing et al. (2002) conducted……
• Role-play can help children learn techniques for
coping with bullying (Kraiser, 2011).

Sometimes this is referred to as: citing in text, in text


citations or text citations .
The second part to referencing is the construction
of a reference list. The reference list shows the
complete details of everything you cited and appears
in an alphabetical list on a separate page, at the end
of your assignment.

Example:
• Derwing, T. M., Rossiter, M. J., & Munro, M. J. (2002). Teaching
native speakers to listen to foreign-accented speech. Journal of
Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 23(4), 245-259.

• Thomas, H. K. (2004). Training strategies for improving listeners'


comprehension of foreign-accented speech (Doctoral dissertation).
University of Colorado, Boulder.
Tip: Everything you have cited in text
appears in your reference list and likewise...
everything that appears in your reference list
will have been cited in text
