APA Guidelines and Writing Tips
General Information on APA Format
APA format represents a writing style for most academic papers in a college environment. If students follow this style, they will have well-organized essays that will be constructed to effectively avoid plagiarism. Although a lot of students consider this format to be complicated, it involves a lot of basic steps that are easy to understand if they are explained correctly. These steps involve the basic format of the paper, parenthetical citations for source information, and an organized reference page.
Basic Format
The basic format for APA involves the title page, page numbering, and spacing of the entire essay. The title page itself must include a running head, the title of the essay, the author, and the university where the paper is presented. A sample title page would have information like the following.
Differences Among 1
Running head: DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
Differences Among Victims of Domestic Abuse and Victims of Cult Abuse
Clara E. Gerl
Northwestern State University
As seen in the title page above, the pages are numbered with a short version of the title before the page number itself. This is placed on the upper right-hand side of each page. It is important that the short version of the title is placed on every page number. The spacing of the entire essay deals with the margins and the spaces between the lines of text. All margins in APA format are 1 inch and everything in APA is double spaced.
Parenthetical or In-text Citation
Any time a writer has specific information that comes from a certain source, it must be cited. If things are not properly cited, then the author is plagiarizingby not giving credit where it is due. The basics for parenthetical citation are that the author’s last name and the year that the article or journal was published must be clear within the text. A sample citation could read “(Dunn, 1991)”; if there is no author available, an abbreviated version of the title could be used. For instance, if someone was citing from an article called “California Cigarette Sales Fall 10% in September of 1998” but there was no author for this work, the citation could read (“California,” 1998).
All parenthetical citations within the essay must refer to the references page. For every entry on the reference page, there should be at least one parenthetical citation. Without the references page, the audience would never be able to understand exactly where the information could be found. This is essential because a good references page will give a lot of credibility to anyone as a writer.
References List
The basic format for source on a separate references page is to list the author’s last name first, then list the first initial of the first name only. After that, the date of the publication is listed, then the title of the source itself is written. The last two things to be written are the location where the wor ...
Discussion QuestionHave you ever looked at the quotes in a news s.docxmickietanger
Discussion Question:
Have you ever looked at the quotes in a news story and wondered what the reporter was trying to imply about the source?
I seem to find myself wondering all the time, especially in sports news and celebrity features. For example, the
Washington Post
did a piece on professional basketball player, Caron Butler, quoting a childhood friend as saying, “We used to see the big dudes come through, with their cars shining. We didn’t have nothing.” The late Bella Stumbo, of the
Los Angeles Times,
was sharply criticized for quoting the late Washington, D.C., mayor Marion Barry using words like "wanna" instead of "want to" and "I be sittin'" instead of "I'll be sitting" in
her profile
of the politician.
After you have read this week's assigned readings, please address this discussion prompt. What is a reporter’s obligation to his or her sources? His or her audience? Are quotes in the vernacular appropriate or inappropriate? Are they even ethical? How
are
we supposed to handle poor grammar and dialects in our quotes? What are some of the rules for quoting sources? Find and include other stories in your post that used a source's vernacular and tell us whether the quotes were handled appropriately or inappropriately and why you think so. What do you think the reporters were trying to accomplish by writing their stories this way? Would you have quoted these sources the same way or differently (explain)? What have you learned about interviewing? Have you any tips to share?
Peer Review 1:
I think this topic relates a lot to our discussion on what a “journalist” is and what sets them apart from pundits and bloggers, their obligation to present the truth. I can appreciate that Bella Stumbo chose to include the exact and direct quotes of Barry, accent and vernacular included. However, like all things there is a time, place, and reason. I believe that because Stumbo was writing a profile, she did the piece more justice by including the speech patterns. They show character and background in peripheral way. The rules for this week mentioned that grammatical mistakes should be used as they were spoken, but accents should not. There can be a fine line between those two. I’ve lived all over the world and I can tell you from experience, accents and vernacular combined can create something of a dialect. Regardless, we aren’t trying to be speech analysts, but writers. The audience and intention of the piece must always be considered. A running theme in the class has been to choose each word carefully, and if it doesn’t add to the story you don’t need it. For example, I found an article online that described Wendy Williams' reaction to a celebrity tryst:
‘It’s only been three weeks! And she’s 26! That’s old enough to understand—like, you don’t show your feelings on your sleeve in three weeks, you know? And he’s a 30-something.’
Here the writer is not only adding inflection or feeling by using multiple exclamation marks, but why add the “- li.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Introduction
In his book, “The Craft of
Interviewing,” Tom Brady extols
quotes as “those brief, brilliant
bursts of life.” Ideally, that’s what
they are. Unfortunately, though,
many quotes are neither brief, nor
brilliant but lifeless and verbose

Campbell’s 10 quote tips
1. Ordinarily, put attribution after a direct quote or
paraphrase.
2. If the speaker is changing, put attribution first.
Paraphrase the second quote.
3. Do not stack direct quotes.
4. Ordinarily, place the noun or pronoun before
the verb in attribution.
“Everything is under control,” the sheriff said.
“I enjoy the challenge,” said Jack Berry, associate
dean for graduate studies.
5. Place long titles after the name. Capitalize
short titles if used before name.

Campbell’s 10 quote tips
6. Set off quotes in separate paragraphs.
7. Avoid quotes of more than 3-4 sentences.
8. Break up longer quotes with a name. Only
break between sentences.
Example: “The story is told through a lot of
flashbacks and from a lot of different angles,”
Lisa Kudrow said. “And except for the police and
me all of the characters are capable of lying.”
9. Place commas, question marks(if part of
quote) and periods inside quotation marks
10. Avoid double attribution
The commissioner said he would move promptly
against what he called an “outrageous situation.”

Tribune attribution
Select a story. Read it and answer the
following questions on a sheet of paper.
How many different verbs of attribution
did you find (beside said)?
How were quotes punctuated.
Try to identify examples of correct
applications of Campbell’s 10 quote
rules.
6. 6/7/2014 6
When to quote?
Too many writers seem to assume
that quotation marks, by
themselves, can transform a grunt
into a great fugue.
Example: Smith said he accepted
the job because it represented a
“challenge.”
7. 6/7/2014 7
When to quote?
The senator said that “during the
period of time, which covered six
years, the committee held a total of
only six days of hearings.”
The senator said the subcommittee
held only six days of hearings in as
many years.
8. 6/7/2014 8
When to quote?
Use quotes for specific, vivid and
descriptive statements and to capture
inner feelings and personality.
“We can’t make ends meet,” said the 36-
year-old waitress and mother of three
who lives in the capital. “Everything’s
going up. We used to buy meat most
days, but that’s out of the question. We
have to line up for hours for sugar and
rice. And then we’re told we can’t have
wage increases.”
-- N.Y. Times

When to quote?
“By the time they get in here, there’s
no more belligerence, no more
fight,” an attendant said. “They’re
really quite cooperative and polite
at this final stage. They just sit
there and die quietly.”
-- N.Y. Times

Help wanted
[sometimes]
A parenthetical insert may be used to
explain a technical word or to clarify a
pronoun reference.
Right: “He said he had no idea why he
[Smith] didn’t show up for work with the
others.”
Wrong: “I guess he [the driver] just hates
hitchhikers. They [highway motorists] do
it all the time. They swerve at you like
they are trying to hit you. This is the first
time one of us [referring to highway
tramps in general] every really got hit.”

many large petitions,” Richard
Markse, a railroad spokesman,
said of the 300 signatures Field
collected.
Fields collected 300 signatures.
“It’s rare,” said Richard Markse, a
railroad spokesman. “We don’t

Haphazard attribution
Make sure the reader knows who’s
speaking
Don’t overattribute in running quotations
Don’t disrupt the flow of the sentence
“The charge is not,” the lawyer said,
“warranted in the slightest degree.”
“This is the second time,” the angry
senator said, “the agency has violated its
own regulations.”

Watch the context
“There may be occasions, crimes, when the
death penalty appears justified. At least
many people think so. I have sometimes
leaned that way myself, but to my mind,
large problems remain.
A longtime opponent of capital punishment
said today that on occasions “the death
penalty appears justified.”
“I have sometimes leaned that way myself,”
he added, though “large problems
always remain.”

Watch the context
Reporter: Do you feel the verdict was
wrong, that it was a gross miscarriage of
justice?
Source: Well, yes.
Copy: He said he “felt that the verdict
wrong and a gross miscarriage of
justice.”
Correction: He said “yes” to a reporter’s
question whether he felt . . .

attribution
Do not attribute wording and coloring
obviously different from the source’s
own.
WASHINGTON – The nation’s
unemployment rate shot up from 6.2
percent to 7 percent in April, the highest
level in 2 years. It is a powerful sign that
the inflation-wracked economy is now
being squeezed by the rise of recession,
the government reported today.

A Band-Aid may help
You can fix up small grammatical
problems, dialect and non-
standard English.

Expletive deleted
Avoid casual profanity and
vulgarisms.

as a guide.
Also see nationalities and races
to handle ethnic slurs on page 169.

Paraphrase to the
rescue
Don’t unnecessarily embarrass a
source.
“What is lacking is not indifference
and apathy” suggests Joseph
Guinn, vice president of the
association. “The general public
just doesn’t understand the
education value.”
Guinn said that apathy and
indifference were not the problem.

“It’s a great challenge.”
“It sounded like a freight train (or
an atom bomb).”
“I like people.”
