Publication manual of the American Psychological Association
What is APA? Your assignment states ? Please reference using the APA style - 6 th You think to yourself ... ?Arrrgghhh... what does that mean, why do I have to do it and how do I do it!?? APA is one of many referencing styles used in academic writing. APA stands for American Psychological Association. The Association outlines the style in the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association [APA] (6th). UCOL programmes utilise the APA referencing style. There are many different referencing styles (over 100). It is essential to follow the style specified in your assignments and not to mix styles. Consistency of style is important! Why reference? When you reference you use the standardised style to acknowledge the source of information used in your assignment. 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. Paraphrasing means re-wording something you have read in to your own words. If you use someone else?s words or work and fail to acknowledge them ? you may be accused of plagiarism and infringing copyright. Referencing correctly enables the marker or reader of your assignment to locate the source of the information. They can verify the information or read further on the topic. Referencing also allows for you to retrace your steps and locate information you have used for assignments and discover further views or ideas discussed by the author. By referencing clearly and correctly, it demonstrates you have undertaken research on the assignment topic and located relevant information. There are two main parts to referencing: 1. 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. Sometimes this is referred to as: citing in text, in text citations or text citations 2. 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.
