Task 3 Essay
The American Psychological Association (APA) style is primarily used in the social
shows many similarities, but is unique in several key points. This paper discusses the
APA in detail.
Discussion
APA uses parenthetical (or in-text) citations within sentences, but rather than
indicating the author's name and page number, APA includes author's name and
date of publication. The page number, represented with a p. or a pp., is only added
to the citation when using a direct quote (not a summary or paraphrase). If the
author's name is mentioned in the sentence, then place the date of publication in
parentheses directly after the name. If the name is not mentioned include the
author's name and date in parentheses at the end of the source material. And, if
you use a direct quote, place the page number after the publication date within the
parentheses.
Examples
Terrence (1999) has presented poignant examples from 150 interviews. However,
it has been pointed out that the research was conducted in a selective, highly
biased, way (Strong & Porter, 1998). All of the interviewees have been called
Note the first example paraphrases an author that is named in the sentence, the
second example paraphrases authors that are not named in the sentence, and the
third example provides a direct quote (thus the inclusion of the page numbers) but
also does not identify the authors within the sentence. If the authors were
identified within the sentence in the third example, the authors' names would be
followed by the year of publication and only the page numbers would be in the
Format
Finally, the bibliographic page in APA style differs from MLA, what APA calls
the Reference page. You will notice a few immediate differences from the MLA
Works Cited format. With APA you include the initial of the author's first name
rather than the complete name, the publication date immediately follows the
author's name in parentheses, and titles of articles are not surrounded with
quotation marks. The lists are still alphabetized by author's last name (or title in
the absence of an author) and the first line is flush left while subsequent lines in
the same entry are indented in (approximately 5 spaces or one tab). A good
reference list rather than a bibliography with your paper (APA, 2017). A reference
list consists of all sources cited in the text of a paper whereas a bibliography may
include resources that were consulted but not cited in the text as well as an
Summary
The School of Education, University of Notre Dame Australia, uses the APA 6th
referencing style for all written documents. In addition to in text referencing and
the reference list there are a number of formatting requirements to ensure your
essay complies with APA standards. Get to know the APA 6th.
