APA guidance
Citation:
This is a Master’s level course, thus the use of properly citing information is crucial to your success. I have some other tools at the bottom of the policy that might be useful when writing.
When you are writing based and you use a source material, it has to be cited. The idea behind utilizing sources in your writing is to strengthen your thoughts. All writing is to be your own thoughts and not copied from another source. While writing you can utilize quotations and paraphrasing in moderation. Quotations are to be used to really bring home a particular point and should be limited in use. Quotations should be limited to a maximum of one per paragraph.
There are three primary ways to integrate sources into your own writing: by summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting. Like paraphrases and quotations, summaries require citations.
A summary is a short synopsis of a long piece of writing, in which you distill the most salient pieces of information. A summary is written in your own words, and may include an important quotation or two.
A paraphrase is also written in your own words, but unlike a summary, a paraphrase is approximately the same length as the original passage, and is a direct translation of the author's thoughts. Paraphrased in text citations include the author (or title if no author) and the date.
A quotation is entirely different from the first two: it is the author's exact words. Quotes require use of quotation marks to notify the reader you are using the author's words. Direct quotations include the author (or title if no author), the date, and specific part of the source (page #, paragraph # or section title).
Quick Guide:
For any multi author sources, for any sources with > 3 and < 6 authors they are all written out the first time, but subsequent use, I can use the first author followed by et al.
If the information for the in text citation is included in the body of text I am writing and I have multiple authors, the word and is spelled out, Jones, Smith, and Black (2010)..... If the information for the in text citation is all included in a parenthetical phrase an ampersand is used to separate the next to last and last authors, e.g. (Jones, Smith, & Black, 2010).
For six or more authors, cite the surname of the first author and use, et al., the first time that source is used and any subsequent in text citations for that source.
Reference Page:
The page title, References, is centered, 1 inch from the top of the page and starts a new page. Standard 12-point font should be used, without effects such as bolding, italics or underlining.
All sources listed in the References have at least 1 corresponding in text citation.
References are listed in alphabetical order.
All lines are double spaced and for each entry the hanging indent is used.
Only initials are used for first and/or second names of authors. There is a space between initials, e.g. Lewis, C. S.
If there are multiple authors, they are listed in the order they appear on the original source. Authors in the references are separated by commas (even for 2 authors) and an ampersand is used before the last one.
Titles of books, journals, technical reports are given in italics, as are journal titles and volume numbers.
Titles of books, journal articles, web sites are in lower case except for the first word, first word after a colon and any proper nouns.
The title of a web page that is an article contained in a larger web site is not italicized. Likewise, journal article titles and book article titles are not italicized.
For any citations ending with a URL all hyperlinking (blue, underline) is removed and there is no period at the end of the hyperlink.
Issue numbers are enclosed in parenthesis and not formatted with italics.
Paging is given as a range (e.g. 45-56) without using p. or pp. except for newspapers or magazines without a volume and issue number.
Publication information (books) includes the state 2 letter code with the city and country written out for all international cities.
