...REFERENCING: Reference in a research work is an essential part studying. Referencing is a standardized method of formatting the information sources you have used in your assignments or written work. Any given referencing style serves two purposes: acknowledges the source, allows the reader to trace the source. There are two major and most popular reference styles adopted by writers and scholars. MLA and APA reference styles are the common styles adopted. DIIFERENCES BETWEEN APA AND MLA American Psychological Association (APA) and Modern Language Association (MLA) are writing and formatting styles used in papers, reports, and academic essays. APA is predominately used in the social sciences while MLA is predominately used in the liberal arts and humanities. The guidelines provide overall formatting for content, style and references. While they have many similarities, there are also many differences. Despite their differences, the APA and MLA citation systems have the same overall function in a research paper—sources are acknowledged via in-text citations, each of which corresponds to an entry in an alphabetical list of works at the end of the paper, referred to as “Works Cited” in MLA Style and “References” in APA Style. However, the MLA Handbook also mentions some variations, such as a “Works Consulted” list, which contains sources not cited within the body of the paper, and an annotated bibliography, which includes a brief description or evaluation of each source. APA Style...

Introduction to APA Style What is APA style? APA is an editorial style recommended by the American Psychological Association (APA) for preparing scholarly manuscripts and student research papers. It is the standard format for papers, articles, and books in the social sciences. In addition to providing standardized rules for formatting a paper (margins, line spacing, etc.), APA style provides a consistent method for citing ideas, quotations, facts, and paraphrases borrowed from other sources. This standardized format for identifying sources used in a paper makes the paper more credible and ensures that other authors are given credit for their original thoughts and ideas. Are there other styles? Just as APA style is used by teachers in the social sciences, teachers in the arts and humanities may ask you to format your paper in MLA style; a history professor may ask you to use Chicago or Turabian; a biology professor might want you to submit a paper in yet another format. There are slight differences between the formats and each has a unique set of rules. Note the differences between the APA and...

...Student earning L Centre What is a referencing system? (Author-Date System) HARVARD REFERENCING There are many variations of the Harvard referencing style. This leaflet is based on the AGPS Style Manual (6th edn), 2002. It is advisable to check with each lecturer as to which variation they require you to use and to follow that advice for the work submitted to that lecturer. A referencing system is a standardised way of informing readers of the sources of information, ideas, graphics etc. that are used in any given work, e.g. your assignment. There are a number of different referencing systems, but those most commonly used at Flinders University are: • Harvard (an author-date system) • APA (American Psychological Association, also an author-date system) • The Note system (including footnotes and endnotes). Author-date systems use the authors’ surnames and the year of publication within the text of a work to refer to a detailed list of full references at the end of the work. The Note system uses numbers within the text to refer to details either at the bottom of the page (footnotes) or at the end of the work (endnotes). See the Student Learning Centre (SLC) brochures on the APA and Note systems for details on these systems. Referencing and academic integrity The use of a referencing system to acknowledge other people’s work, ideas and expression is integral to academic writing and academic integrity.

...Referencing What is referencing? Referencing is acknowledging all of the material (books, articles, electronic resources – collectively known as your sources) that you have used in writing your assignment. Because this is other people’s work / ideas, you need to acknowledge their influence and ideas within your work. “Why bother?” or Reasons for referencing Referencing is an academic requirement. It is unethical (and can be illegal) to pass off the intellectual property of others as your own. This is called plagiarism. Plagiarism is regarded as a very serious offence (see your programme’s Student Handbook). Learning to reference correctly is your best protection against charges of plagiarism. HINT: Whenever you read, take notes, or photocopy any material that you might use in an assignment, immediately copy the full reference information onto your copy. If you can’t reference it – you can’t use it ! What is APA? There are multiple “styles” of referencing. The major ones are the Chicago, Harvard and APA styles. Each is slightly different from the other. The AUT faculty of Health uses the American Psychological Association (APA) system of referencing. The current edition of the APA style is the 5th edition. Below are the basic elements of the APA style of referencing. These are intended as guidelines only. You may find these guidelines do not cover your specific needs. For further information you can consult the APA style manual held in the library. The Call No. is...

...PY1101 – Writing in Psychology APA 6th Edition “HOW TO” GUIDE In Psychology, we use the formatting guidelines as set out in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), 6th Edition. This is a starter guide to the APA formatting guidelines. This guide is not all-inclusive, but will help get you started for your first assignment. Burton’s ‘An interactive approach to writing essays and research reports in Psychology’ is the best guide to help you with APA formatting and referencing. There are other resources online and in the library also. Setting up the Format You need to consider all aspects of the format of the document. The easiest thing to do is to adjust your ‘default’ settings in Microsoft Word to the following: • Font = Times New Roman, Size 12 • This is non-negotiable • Line Spacing = double – everywhere (including the References) • Page Numbers = upper right corner • Title page should have a page number • Margins = 2.54cm (top, bottom, left & right) Headings |Level of Heading |Format | |1 |Centred, Boldface, Upper and Lowercase Heading | |2 |Flush Left, Boldface, Upper and Lowercase Heading | |3 | Indented,...

...competitive inroads? Explain. 3 What actions would you recommend over the next five years that could help Gillette maintain its worldwide dominance in the shaving market? What specific marketing program decisions would you recommend? Should Gillette be worried about its pricing strategy? Explain. A paper format around 3-4 pages following appropriate APA Style format is required. See rubric for grading. Citations and references are required to reinforce your comments and ideas (looking for at least 2 additional credible sources than the textbook). Also add a Reference Page (practice using APA style). Avoid using 1st person style writing. Instead or using I, substitute with this author or avoid using a specific reference. For instance, Starbucks coffee tastes great; instead of “I think Starbucks coffee is great.” When referencing your sources in your case study include the author and year of publication. For example, “WalMart’s everyday low pricing strategy differs from Kohl’s high/low pricing in the following ways…” (Williams, 2012). This helps to ensure everyone is using citations and practicing their APA formatting and using course materials that supports your perspective. Due date | Sunday, January 10, 2016, 10:55 PM...
