3. References Guidelines 

CITATIONS IN THE TEXT: 
APA uses the author-date method of citation. The last name of the author and the date of publication are inserted in the text in the appropriate place. When referencing or summarizing a source, provide the author and year. When quoting or summarizing a particular passage, include the specific page or paragraph number, as well. When quoting in your paper, if a direct quote is less than 40 words, incorporate it into your text and use quotation marks. If a direct quote is more than 40 words, make the quotation a freestanding indented block of text and DO NOT use quotation marks. 

  • One work by one author: 
    In one experimental study (Ellis, 1998), children learned... 

    OR In the study by Ellis (1998), primary school children... 
    OR In 1998, Ellis’s study of primary school children…
  • Works by multiple authors: 
    When a work has 2 authors, cite both names every time you reference the work in the text. When a work has three to five authors cite all the author names the first time the reference occurs, and then subsequently include only the first author followed by et al. For example: 
    First citation: Masserton, Slonowski, and Slowinski (1989) state that... Subsequent citations: Masserton et al. (1989) state that... 
    For 6 or more authors, cite only the name of the first author followed by et al. and the year. 

    • Works by an unidentified author: 
    When a resource has no named author, cite the first few words of the reference entry (usually the title). Use double quotation marks around the title of an article, chapter, or Web page. Italicize the title of a periodical, book, brochure, or report. For example: 
    The site seemed to indicate support for homeopathic drugs (“Medical Miracles,” 2009). The brochure argues for homeschooling (Education Reform, 2007). 

    • Two or more works in the same parenthetical citation: 
    Citations of two or more works in the same parentheses should be listed in the order they appear in the reference list (i.e., alphabetically, then chronologically). 
    Several studies (Jones & Powell, 1993; Peterson, 1995, 1998; Smith, 1990) suggest that...
  • Specific parts of a source 
    Always give the page number for quotations or to indicate information from a specific table, chart, chapter, graph, or page. The word page is abbreviated, but not chapter. For example: 
    The painting was assumed to be by Matisse (Powell, 1989, Chapter 6), but later analysis showed it to be a forgery (Murphy, 1999, p. 85). 
    If, as in the instance of online material, the source has neither visible paragraph nor page numbers, cite the heading and the number of the paragraph following it. This allows the reader to locate the text in the source. For example: 
    The patient wrote that she was unimpressed by the doctor’s bedside manner (Smith, 2006, Hospital Experiences section, para. 2).


CITATIONS IN THE REFERENCE LIST: 
In general, references should contain the author's name, publication date, title, and publication information. Include the issue number if the journal is paginated by issue. For information obtained electronically or online, include the DOI: DOI - a unique alphanumeric string assigned to identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the internet. The DOI is typically located on the first page of the electronic journal article near the copyright notice. When a DOI is used in your citation, no other retrieval information is needed. Use this format for the DOI in references: https://doi.org/xxxxxxx. If no DOI has been assigned to the content, provide the home page URL of the journal or of the book or report publisher. Do not insert a hyphen if you need to break a URL across lines; do not add a period after a URL, to prevent the impression that the period is part of the URL. In general, it is not necessary to include database information. Do not include retrieval dates unless the source material has changed over time.
