Answer 2

I'm really confused about your question?!..... but I'm guessing that if you want to cite something, in-text, then really it should be in quotation marks and have a mark added that is reflected at the back of your written work indicating the source and which page and line it can be found on ..... I don't know what an 'APA citation' is but I do know that you can also reference work by making a reference to something that supports your theories/statements by citing the source within the context of your work and again marking this for reference at the back - setting out in full that which you are claiming supports your theory/statement as being cited - again stating which page and lines it can be found on.

Hope this helps?

APA's Publication Manual provides complete style guidelines and should be consulted first in all matters concerning APA style. Apastyle.org offers these FAQs to help clarify frequent areas of confusion.

Apastyle.org is an auxiliary companion to the Publication Manual, but is not intended as a replacement for it. To help style users, Apastyle.org provides—in addition to these FAQs—online guidelines for commonly asked questions concerning electronic references and a list of changes in the fifth edition. If your question involves more complex expressions of writing, visit our style tips area.

Q: What is APA style? Can you send it to me? My paper is due, and it must be in APA style, especially references.

A: The reference format for APA style is described in the fifth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, which is a large reference book that contains hundreds of guidelines on how to format references, statistics, tables, punctuation, and grammar. It also contains writing tips and instructions about how to format manuscripts. You can find a full description and ordering information here. You may also find a copy of the Publication Manual in your school library or even a local bookstore.

Here are some basic reference forms to get you started:

Journal article:

Fine, M. A., & Kurdek, L. A. (1993). Reflections on determining authorship credit and authorship order on faculty-student collaborations. American Psychologist, 48, 1141–1147.

Book:

Nicol, A. A. M., & Pexman, P. M. (1999). Presenting your findings: A practical guide for creating tables. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.

Book chapter:

O'Neil, J. M., & Egan, J. (1992). Men's and women's gender role journeys: Metaphor for healing, transition, and transformation. In B. R. Wainrib (Ed.), Gender issues across the life cycle (pp. 107-123). New York: Springer.

Q: Why is APA style needed?

A: An author writing for a publication must follow the rules established by the publisher to avoid inconsistencies among journal articles or book chapters.

For example, without rules of style, three different manuscripts might use sub-test, subtest, and Subtest in one issue of a journal or book. Although the meaning of the word is the same (in this case, subtest is APA style), such variations in style may distract or confuse the reader.

The need for a consistent style becomes more apparent when complex material is presented, such as tables or statistics.

back to questions

--------------------------------------...

Q: Why is there a specific APA style?

A: APA style focuses on the needs of presenting psychological information. APA style omits general rules explained in widely available style books and examples of usage with little relevance to the behavioral and social sciences.

Among the most helpful general guides to editorial style are Words into Type (Skillin & g*y, 1974) and the Chicago Manual of Style (University of Chicago Press, 1993).

Style manuals agree more often than they disagree. Where they disagree, the Publication Manual, because it is based on the special requirements of psychology, takes precedence for APA publications.

Q: Can you help with my research for my psychology paper? I'm looking for articles on a particular topic.

A: We are not able to send you specific information related to your topic, but APA might have information in one of its databases that will help you to find literature that's already been written on your topic. These databases, which contain summaries of the literature and full-text APA articles, can serve as useful tools in completing your assignments.

APA's bibliographic databases and printed indexes provide summaries of journal articles, book chapters, books, and other scholarly documents in psychology and related disciplines. The bibliographic literature references are accessible via a number of resources, including the PsycINFO online database.

Many university libraries and other research institutions subscribe or provide access to one or more of these resources. If you are unable to gain access through such an institution, however, another option is to establish an account through a commercial online service and do your own searching. Information is available on our PsycINFO Web site about your various access options, including access to online services via the Internet.

APA also provides "pay-per-view" access to these databases. You can get 24-hour access to APA's PsycINFO database (PsycINFO Direct) and retrieve individual APA journal articles (PsycARTICLES Direct). There is a fee for using these products.

We also recommend that you read APA's online pamphlet, "Library Research in Psychology: Finding It Easily." This pamphlet will help steer you toward additional resources.

Q: How do I cite an entire Web site (but not a specific document on that site)?

A: When citing an entire Web site, it is sufficient to give the address of the site in just the text. For example, Kidspsych is a wonderful interactive web site for children (http://www.kidspsych.org).

Q: The instructions in the Publication Manual for citing documents available on the Internet require inclusion of a date of publication or retrieval, yet Examples 73, 74, and 76 do not include "retrieved from" dates. Why is this?

A: This is an oversight. Each of these examples should include a retrieval date after the word retrieved and before the word from. Corrected examples appear in APA Style Guide for Electronic Resources as well as in the second and later printings of the manual.

Q: Does APA offer a workbook on APA style?

A: Yes. Mastering APA Style is a workbook for learning APA style.

--------------------------------------...

Q: In referencing periodicals, what's the difference between using "p." or "pp." for page numbers?

A: If a periodical includes a volume number, italicize it and then change to regular type and give the page range without "pp." If the periodical does not use volume numbers, include "pp." before the page numbers so the reader will understand that the numbers refer to pagination. Use "p." if the source is a page or less long.

Q: I publish frequently in APA journals, and I've noticed that subjects is often changed in copyediting, most often to participants. Why?

A: A couple of guidelines in chapter 2's Guidelines to Reduce Bias in Language are at work here. One is to acknowledge human participation. The other is to be specific. Subjects is a fairly nondescriptive, passive term. Identifying human subjects as participants, respondents, children, patients, clients, and so forth increases specificity. (Subjects is perfectly appropriate when the person cannot him- or herself provide informed consent.)

Q: How do I format a bibliography in APA style?

A: APA style calls for a list of References instead of a bibliography. The requirements of a reference list are that all references cited in the text of a paper must be listed alphabetically by first author's last name in the list of References and that all references listed must be cited within the text. A bibliography, on the other hand, typically includes resources in addition to those cited in the text and may include annotated descriptions of the items listed. In general, the list of References is double-spaced and listed alphabetically by first author's last name. For each reference, the first line is typed flush with the left margin, and any additional lines are indented as a group a few spaces to the right of the left margin (this is called a hanging indent, see here for an example).

back to questions

--------------------------------------...

Q: How do I reference a Web page that lists no author?

A: When there is no author for a Web page, the title moves to the first position of the reference entry:

New child vaccine gets funding boost. (2001). Retrieved March 21, 2001, from http://news.ninemsn.com.au/health/story_...

The text citation would then just cite a few words of the title to point the reader to the right area of your reference list: .are most at risk of contracting the disease ("New Child," 2001).

Q: How do I cite Web site material that has no author, no year, and no page numbers?

A: Because the material does not include page numbers, you can include any of the following in the text to cite the quotation (from p. 120 of the Publication Manual):

A paragraph number, if provided; alternatively, you could count paragraphs down from the beginning of the document.

An overarching heading plus a paragraph number within that section.

Nothing. Just put quotation marks around the words you're using, which the reader can use as a search string.

Because there is no date and no author, your text citation would include the first couple of words from the title and "n.d." for no date (e.g., para. 5, "Style List," n.d.). The entry in the reference list might look something like this:

Style list for references. (n.d.). Retrieved January 1, 2001, from http://www.apa.org
