  20. Citing Your Sources • What? • Tell your reader what information resources you used to help develop your thoughts and construct your paper • Why? • To back up your claims with documentation – strengthens your argument or points • To indicate where you got your information so that other people can follow-up • To give credit to the original author(s) • To avoid plagiarism

  21. Citing Your Sources • APA Style • From the American Psychological Association • You will need to create a reference list and use parenthetical references within the text of your paper (2 separate but related actions) • Difference between “quoting” verbatim (requires quotation marks) and giving credit for the general gist of a thought

  22. Elements of a Reference • Article • Author • Year of publication • Title of article • Title of journal • Volume (also include issue number if journal is paginated by issue) • Page numbers • Website • Author or responsible entity • Date of creation or modification • Title of webpage • Title/Name of overarching website if not clear in title of webpage • Webpage address • Date you accessed this resource

  23. Reference List Entry - Article Author, A. A. (Year of Publication). Title of article: Subtitle of article. Magazine/Journal Title, Volume number (issue number if each issue begins on page 1), pages. Clemens, R. G. (2003). Delivery library services to distance students: A case study. Reference Services Review, 54, 32-44.

  24. Reference List Tips • References should appear in hanging indent form; first line at the left margin, each succeeding line of a reference entry is indented. • In titles of books, articles, films, and broadcasts capitalize only the first word of the title, the first word after a colon or dash, and proper nouns. • In periodical titles capitalize all major words and all words of four letters or more. • Periodical titles should be in italic.

  25. Parenthetical Reference Tips • If you are citing a work by a single author, use the surname (do not include suffixes such as Jr.) and the year of publication separated by a comma in parentheses: • In a recent study of reaction time (Rogers, 1994) … • If you have just stated the author's name in the text, put the year of publication only in parentheses: • Peplau (1985) defines loneliness as a difference between desired and achieved social relationships.
