  8. On Library homepage… Guides to help you with your assignments

  9. Documenting your sources APA style (American Psychological Association rules*) *as interpreted by Centennial College Libraries

  10. Your work (essay, letter, report, pamphlet, etc.) normally includes 3types of material… • Your ideas • Your summaries of others’ ideas and facts • Quotations from your sources (MLA Handbook, 2009)

  11. Your use of others’ ideas and words… • “Researchers do not claim the words and ideas of another as their own; they give credit where credit is due.” • Source: APA Ethics Code Standard 8.11, Plagiarism. (2010). In Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). Washington, DC: APA, p.15). “ “So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” - Jack Layton (2011)

  12. . Why give credit to others whose work you use?

  13. Why acknowledge your sources? • You demonstrate that you, the writer, are a genuine researcher who has done the considerable work of investigating authorities on your topic. • You acknowledge your indebtedness to others. • You add weight to your statements & arguments by citing authorities that support you views. • You enable your readers to pursue the topic further, &/or evaluate your use of others’ work. - Canadian Writers Handbook. 4th ed., p. 77

  14. When you don’t acknowledge your sources… Plagiarism

  15. Sample title page in APA style

  16. Sample page 2 in APA style

  17. Sample References list (last page(s) of essay) in APA style

  18. 2 examples of in-text citations in APA style

  19. Example of quotation fewer than 40 words(See rule in APA Manual, p. 171) Interpreting these results, Roberts (2003) suggested that “the information gathered in this study cannot predict an outcome with certainty” (p. 540), thus lending real doubt regarding the future.

  20. Example of quotation 40 or more words(See rule in APA Manual, p. 171) (Rule is to use double spacing: single spacing is used here for presentation purposes only.) Others 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 instance, 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)

  21. “References …listed alphabetically at the end of your paper. Each reference you cite in-text must appear in the References list, and each entry in the References list must be cited in-text. (APA Manual, p. 174)
