    APA Style Sample

    Introduction

    The American Psychological Association (APA) style is primarily used in the social

    science disciplines. It is formatted like Modern Language Association (MLA), and shows

    many similarities, but is unique in several key points. This paper discusses the APA in

    detail. “Addressing plagiarism has become a major challenge in education and educating

    students in referencing correctly with the APA 6th is one way of trying to overcome the

    problem (Bretag, 2013; Manar & Shameem, 2014).

    Discussion

    APA uses parenthetical (or in-text) citations within sentences, but rather than

    indicating the author's name and page number, APA includes author's name and date of

    publication. The page number, represented with a p. or a pp., is only added to the citation

    when using a direct quote (not a summary or paraphrase). If the author's name is mentioned

    in the sentence, then place the date of publication in parentheses directly after the name. If

    the name is not mentioned include the author's name and date in parentheses at the end of

    the source material. And, if you use a direct quote, place the page number after the

    publication date within the parentheses.

    Examples

    Note the difference between the following three examples:

    Terrence (2007) has presented poignant examples from 150 interviews. However, it

    has been pointed out that the research was conducted in a selective, highly biased, way

    (Strong & Porter, 1998) All of the interviewees have been called “exceptions to the norm”

    (Strong & Porter, 1998, p. 5).

    Note the first example paraphrases an author that is named in the sentence, the

    second example paraphrases authors that are not named in the sentence, and the third

    example provides a direct quote (thus the inclusion of the page numbers) but also does not

    identify the authors within the sentence. If the authors were identified within the sentence in

    the third example, the authors' names would be followed by the year of publication and only

    the page numbers would be in the parentheses at the end of the quote.

    Format

    Finally, the bibliographic page in APA style differs from MLA, what APA calls the

    Reference page. You will notice a few immediate differences from the MLA Works Cited

    format. With APA you include the initial of the author's first name rather than the complete

    name, the publication date immediately follows the author's name in parentheses, and titles

    of articles are not surrounded with quotation marks. The lists are still alphabetized by

    author's last name (or title in the absence of an author) and the first line is flush left while

    subsequent lines in the same entry are indented in (approximately 5 spaces or one tab). A

    http://library.nd.edu.au/referencing/apa#s-lg-box-3040351. There is also a summary

    downloadable help document available at:

    http://library.nd.edu.au/ld.php?content_id=8053459. In APA Style, you include a reference

    list rather than a bibliography with your paper (American Psychological Association, 2018)

    A reference list consists of all sources cited in the text of a paper whereas a bibliography

    may include resources that were consulted but not cited in the text as well as an annotated

    description of each one.

    Summary

    The School of Education, University of Notre Dame Australia, uses the APA 6th

    referencing style for all written documents. In addition to in text referencing and the

    reference list there are a number of formatting requirements to ensure your essay complies

    with APA standards. Get to know the APA 6th.
