Page 33 of 40 American Psychological Association (APA) Referencing Guide Introduction: Explicit indication of the sources of information and ideas is one of the characteristics of academic and professional writing. Explicit referencing of sources distinguishes academic and professional writing from other types of writing. Academic and professional writers show where they got the information or ideas for their texts through internationally accepted referencing system such as APA and Harvard. The “APA style” is a generic author-date style for citing and referencing information in assignments, project reports, thesis, dissertations and other publications. There are many styles which follow the author-date convention, including the Harvard style and the Chicago Manual of Style. This guide is based on the American Psychological Association’s Publication Manual which is recommended to follow by the IPM. What is referencing? Referencing is a standardized way of acknowledging the sources of information and ideas that you have used in your assignments, project thesis, dissertations and other publications which allows the sources to be identified. Why referencing? Referencing is important to avoid plagiarism, to verify quotations and to enable readers to follow up what you have written and more fully understand the cited author’s work. Accordingly referencing is important due to the following reasons. To respect intellectual property To strengthen arguments by indicating the source of ideas To demonstrate knowledge of the field in which you are writing To establish your voice in your academic writing To meet marking criteria To avoid accusation of plagiarism Page 34 of 40 Please Note that APA emphasizes to prepare your list according to the concept of references not to the concept of bibliography. The difference between these two concepts will be taught to you by the relevant lecturer in charge. Thus, the following two are the most important matters to be concerned. 1. In-text citations – That is to insert citations at the appropriate place in the text of your document and that should be according to author-date style. Page numbers must also be included if you directly quote, paraphrase a passage or if you want to direct the reader to a specific page. What is a quotation and paraphrasing will be taught by your relevant lecturer. 2. List of References – That is to include a reference list which includes all in-text citations at the end of your research project report. The following matters are important in preparing your list of references. Further explanations regarding the following points will be given by your lecturer. It should be arranged alphabetically by author. If you have more items (articles, books, chapters etc.) published by the same author, list the items chronologically, starting with the earliest publication. Each reference should appear on a new line. It should be indented so that the author can clearly stand out. References should not be numbered. Page 35 of 40 The following tables indicate how to put in-text citations and prepare the list of reference for the most common types among different types of sources you find.
