CHAPTER FOUR-OBSERVATION AND CONCLUSION
3.10.2. Citations All facts opinions or quotations borrowed by the
student shall be acknowledged by citing the
sources. The American Psychological Association’s (APA)
writing style shall be used to cite
references. References should be cited in text with author-date
citation system and are listed alphabetically in the Bibliography.
Citing Direct Quotations in text. When reproducing word for
word material directly quoted from another author’s work as
quotes, always provide the author, year, and specific page
citation or paragraphs number for non-paginated material. If the
quotation comprises fewer than 40 words, incorporate it into
text and enclose the quotation with double quotation marks.
Example:
Author’s name in text In their study, Ramesh and Suresh (2012)
found that “the variations in the level of dissatisfaction among
the clients seemed best explained by their attitude towards
quality”
(p.112)
Author’s name not in text “The variations in the level of
dissatisfaction among the clients seemed best explained by their

attitude towards quality” (Ramesh & Suresh, 2012, p.112)


If the quotation comprises 40 or more words, display it in a free
standing block of text and omitthe quotation marks. Start such block
quotation on a new line and indent the block about a halfinch from
the left margin.Example;There have been numerous studies in this
areas and other have contradicted this view:
Co-presence does not ensure intimate interaction among all
group members. Consider large-scale social gatherings in which
hundreds or thousands of people gather in a location to perform a
ritual or celebrate an event.
In these instances, participants are able to see the
visible manifestation of the group, the physical gathering, yet their
ability to make direct, intimate connections with those around them is
limited by the sheer magnitude of the assembly. (Purcell, 1997, pp.
111-112) Citing References in text The author-date method of
citation requires that the surname of the author (do not include
suffixes such as Jr., Dr., Mr. etc.)

One work by one Author


Example
Author’s name in text: Kessler (2003) found that among epidemiological samples.
Author’s name not in text: Early onset results in more persistent and severe course
(Kessler,2003).

One work by multiple Authors When a work has two authors,


cite both names every time the reference occurs in text. When a
work has three , four or five authors. Cite all authors the first
time the reference occurs; in subsequent citations, include only
the surname of the first author followed by et al. with the year if
it is the first citation of the reference within a paragraph.
Multiple authors of a work This hypothesis (Bradley and
Rogers 7) suggested this theory (Sumner, Reichl, and Waugh
23).
4. BIBLIOGRAPHY
Bibliography gives the list of books and other sources consulted
for the study. This list provides the complete information
necessary to identify and retrieve each source. Bibliography can
include sources which could be used by the reader for further
reading on the topic.
