    APA Style - Presentation Transcript

    1. Using APA Format Modified by Waldemar Santiago, brought to you by the Purdue University Writing Lab
    2. What is APA Style? American Psychological Association (APA) style is a widely accepted style of documentation, particularly in the social sciences.
    3. Why Use APA Format?
        • Allows readers to cross-reference your sources easily
        • Provides consistent format within a discipline
        • Gives you credibility as a writer
        • Protects yourself from plagiarism
    4. Where Do I Find APA Format?
        • Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association , 5th ed.
        • www.apastyle.org
        • Composition textbooks

    5. APA Style: Two Main Concerns
        • Reference Page
    6. Reference Page
        • A list of every source that you make reference to in your essay.
        • Provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any sources cited in your essay.
        • Each retrievable source cited in the essay must appear on the reference page, and vice versa.
    7. A Sample Reference Page
      • Most citations should contain the following basic information:
        • Author’s name
        • Title of work
        • Publication information
      Reference Page
