APA Style Reference Citations
Library Resource Guide
WHAT IS A REFERENCE CITATION?
A reference citation is the documentation needed to make your paper acceptable for academic purposes. It
gives authoritative sources for your statements, helps the reader gain access to those sources, and acknowledges
the fact that the information used in a paper did not originate with the writer.
WHAT IS APA'S STYLE OF REFERENCE CITATION?
APA style uses the author/date method of citation in which the author's last name and the year of the
publication are inserted in the actual text of the paper. It is the style recommended by the American
Psychological Association and used in many of the social sciences. The American Psychological Association
addresses new electronic formats in a separate guide, which UT students can access in book format or online
through the library. Several of the examples in this guide come from one of these sources. The American
Psychological Association offers some guidance and examples at http://www.apastyle.org/. The Writing
Center, on the first floor of Carlson, also offers help to students who are writing papers. This guide only
summarizes a few main points regarding APA style. For full information, please consult the two APA guides
below.

APA Style Guide to Electronic References by The American Psychological Association.
WHEN USING APA STYLE, DO I NEED TO USE FOOTNOTES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE?
No, by inserting reference citations in the text, you eliminate the need to use footnotes at the bottom of the page
or at the end of your paper. The citations in your end-of-paper references list should give readers enough
information to locate each source.
NOTE: It is suggested that you consult with your instructor or advisor for the style preferred by your
department. Be consistent and do not mix styles! Inquire at the Information/Reference Desk for style
manuals available at Carlson Library.
EXAMPLES OF REFERENCE CITATIONS IN TEXT--APA STYLE
1. If author's name occurs in the text, follow it with year of publication in parentheses.
Example: Piaget (1970) compared reaction times...
2. If author's name is not in the text, insert last name, comma, year in parenthesis.
Example: In a recent study of reaction times (Piaget, 1978)…

3. If author's name and the date of publication have been mentioned in the text of your paper, they
should not be repeated within parentheses.

4. Because material within a book or on a web page is often difficult to locate, authors should,
whenever possible, give page ...

This document provides definitions and guidelines for key terms used in research such as references, bibliographies, and citations.
References are organized listings of works cited in the text that are placed at the end of a document. They include author name, title, publication details, and pages cited. References are arranged alphabetically. Bibliographies are full listings of all material consulted for research, including sources not directly cited.
Citations acknowledge original authors when using their information. They appear in text or at the end and provide enough information to identify the source. Style manuals like MLA, APA, and Chicago provide standardized formats for citations and bibliographies to avoid plagiarism and organize references.
The document compares and contrasts the MLA and APA citation styles. MLA style is used in the humanities and focuses on citing sources in scholarly writing. It requires listing sources alphabetically in a Works Cited section. APA style is used in the social sciences and provides conventions for in-text citations, including citing authors by last name and year. It also requires listing references alphabetically but in a References section. Both styles require providing bibliographic information about sources like author, title, publisher, and date according to their prescribed formats.
