head: APA REFERENCES & CITATIONS 1 General Rules • APA (American Psychological Association) style is used for some programs in science disciplines and most programs in social science disciplines. • APA puts an emphasis on a resource’s date of creation. • Times New Roman, size 12 font is used throughout publications (including titles). • Everything is double-spaced (on 8.5 X 11 inch paper). • Margins are 1 inch (2.54 cm) on all sides. • Beginning with the title page, number the pages in the top right corner of each page. • APA uses in-text citations in the body of publications. In addition, it requires a separate reference page. APA Title Page Shorten the title if it is 1 Running head: COLLEGE STUDENT STRESS over 50 characters Running head instructions: The words “Running head” appear only on the first page. For the rest of the paper, include just the essay name. The name of the essay is in capitals. To format running head and numbering: - Use: Insert >Page number >Top of page >Plain number 1. - Click: Different First Page - Type: Name of essay, tab to move page number to right side College Student Stress Title of paper Janice M. Jones Student name Fanshawe College Institution name Include other course information as required by instructor Document created in collaboration with the Learning Centre January 2019 APA REFERENCES & CITATIONS 2 References Page Guidelines The references page, located at the end of the paper, identifies all published sources used in the paper. Style: • Begin the references list on a new page. Center the title "References" in regular, size 12 font at the top of the page. The header information continues on this page. • Double space between ALL lines. • If a reference entry is two or more lines long, use a hanging indent. In Word, go to the home tab and click on the bottom corner of the Paragraph section and open the Indentation section; go to Special and select Hanging from the dropdown list. Authors: • Alphabetize by last name and include the initial(s) of given name(s): Black, S. E. • If there is no author, use the editor’s name: Jones, L. C. (Ed.). • If neither author nor editor is available, use the source title. • Separate names with commas, and use an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name: Maree, J. M., Johnson, D. M., & McKenzie, C.S. Dates: • When no publication date is given, use (n.d.) to indicate no date. • For online resources, use retrieval dates only when the source material changes over time (e.g. wikis, and web pages that might be updated frequently). • For monthly publications, include the month in full: (2016, March); for daily publications, include the full date: (2017, May, 5). Titles: • For all source titles, including those from books, chapters, and articles, use sentence case (only the first word of the title, the first word after a colon, and proper nouns (names) are capitalized). • Any referenced items that are part of a larger source (e.g. journal articles, chapters from edited books) appear non-italicized. Stand-alone and larger works (e.g. authored books, PDF documents, the names of journals, the names of newspapers) are italicized. • Note: The exception to the capitalization rule is that the names of periodicals (e.g. journals, magazines, newspapers) follow title case (each major word is capitalized): Journal of Advanced Physics. Places of Publication: • Include the city and the state/province abbreviation for publishers in Canada/USA: London, ON; Boston, MA. Include the city and country for publishers outside of Canada/USA: Sydney, Australia. Publishers: • Give the publisher's name in brief, without corporate terms such as Inc., Ltd., Co. or Publishers. • However, retain the words Books and Press. • If the author and publisher are the same, use the word Author as the name of the publisher (see Brochure example on page 11). DOIs: • Digital Object Identifiers are a code of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies an object. If it is available, include it in the reference. • Examples: doi:10.2113/gssajg.119.1.39 and http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pmatsci.2016.07.002 Document created in collaboration with the Learning Centre January 2019 APA REFERENCES & CITATIONS 3 In-Text Citation Guidelines Each use of source information within a paper requires an in-text citation: (author, year) or (author, year, p.#). All direct quotes (word for word) and paraphrases (ideas put into your own words) must be cited. Paraphrased information: Only the author and year, (Blau, 2014), are necessary for paraphrased citations although the use of page numbers, (Blau, 2014, p.14), is encouraged. Note: The author and year can also be incorporated into your sentences instead of in parentheses (brackets): "In 2014, Blau argued that..." Direct quotations:
