2. This session will address:
• LO1- To know why we APA reference,
• L02- To create accurate in-citation texts and
reference lists,
• L03- To understand the differences between
how to AP ref a book, website and a journal
article.
Overview
4. Plagiarism, which is the use without proper
acknowledgement of another person’s words and
presenting it in an assessment as if they were one’s
own. Plagiarism includes copying from another student,
copying from published work (including online learning
materials, lecturer notes, books, internet sites, journal
articles, case studies, computer code etc.).
(Arden University, 2021)
7. In-Text Citations
Whenever you use the ideas of others in
your writing, you must include a citation in
the body of your text
A citation tells your reader who has informed
your writing, and gives your tutor a sense of
your approach to research
Notice that in-text references are very brief!
According to Jones (2020, p.72), “student
use of an appropriate referencing system is
often undermined by inconsistent
guidance”.
Jones and Hills (2011) argues that correct
use of a referencing system is highly
beneficial to academic study.
In-text citations that are in brackets would
not be read aloud as part of the sentence
(Jones & Hills, 2011)
8. Single Author Texts
When referencing a text with one author, follow this form:
(Author surname, date of publication, p. page number)
“Each reference cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and each
entry in the reference list must be cited in the text” (Jones, 2009, p. 174).
Commas between each section of the in-text citation.
If the citation is at the end of the sentence, use a full stop after the close of
brackets.
9. Two Authors
There are two formats for citing two people:
1. If the author’s name is mentioned in the sentence, then you put the year in brackets.
For example:
Jones and Hills (2011) proposed that…
2. If the name is not mentioned in the sentence, then you put the name and the year in
the brackets. For example:
(Jones and Hills, 2011)
When a citation is in brackets, use ‘&’ between the
authors’ names. When a citation is in the main text,
use ‘and.’
10. Three Or More Authors
For texts that have three or more authors, it is impractical to include
every name in your in-text citation
Citations with three or more authors should always use the first
author’s surname followed by et al. instead of all the other names. For
example:
Weston et al. (2017) demonstrate the importance of…
11. Secondary Citation
Textbooks often cite external studies and research conducted by other academics and
professionals.
If you want to cite this material, but have not read the original text, then this is
what’s known as a secondary citation. When using secondary citations, use the
following format:
(Original source date, as cited in secondary source author,
secondary source date)
Example: …this correlates with Bright’s conclusions (2005, as cited in Jenkins, 2009).
12. Reference List
Your reference list should always contain full details of all the
sources you referred to in your writing.
Each source should be listed only once in your list, even though
you may have referred to that same source several times
The reference list should be presented at the end of your work
The reference list must be in alphabetical order
The reference list should be provided as one full list
14. Referencing a BibliU Book
When adding a print book to your references, follow this format:
Author Surname, Author Initials. (year of publication) Title of
work. Capital letter for subtitle. Publisher. DOI/URL (if
available)
Brierley, S. S. (2018) An introduction to psychology.
Routledge. https://bibliu.com/app/?query=psychology#/
view/books/9780429620324/epub/OEBPS/003-
9780429620324_copyright.html#page_FM_iv
DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier – a
permalink. Use this instead of a URL if possible!
15. Referencing a Book
Author Surname, Author Initials. (year of
publication) Title of work. Capital letter
for subtitle. Publisher.
Don’t forget to
indent the second
and all subsequent
lines
16. Journal Articles
Remember – be specific about the date of publication if the information is available!
Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year of Publication, add month and day of
publication for daily, weekly, or monthly publications). Title of article. Title of
periodical, Volume Number(issue number), page numbers. Digital object
identifier (if available).

recognition of personally familiar and unfamiliar faces. Frontiers in Psychology:
Cognitive Science, 1(20), 1-8. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2010.00020.
17. Referencing Websites
When using the internet, make sure your information comes from a reputable
source, such as university websites or newspaper/TV news websites.
If the website has no date, then you can put “n.d.” in the brackets instead of a
date.
Author Surname, INITIALS. (Date). Title of Webpage. Website Name. Url
American Psychological Association (2013). Science of Psychology. Psychology:
Science in Action. https://www.apa.org/action/science
19. Author Surname, Author
Initials. (year of publication)
Title of work. Capital letter for
subtitle. Publisher. DOI/URL (if
available)
Brewin, C. R. (1988) Cognitive foundations of clinical
psychology. Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. DOI10.4

C. (Year of Publication, add month and
day of publication for daily, weekly, or
monthly publications). Title of article.
Title of periodical, Volume Number(issue
number), page numbers. Digital object
identifier (if available).
22. Quiz: Round One
Why do we need to reference material
that we use?
1. Avoid accusations of plagiarism
2. Acknowledge others work
3. Support academic arguments
4. Prove that you have researched
a topic
5. All of the above
23. Quiz: Answer
No. 5 is correct
It is crucial in academic writing to acknowledge the work of others
in support of your argument. Plagiarism is a growing problem in
HE and at Arden there are disciplinary procedures for anyone
caught plagiarising other people’s work.
24. Quiz: Round Two
In which case would you need to reference the source of
information?
1. When you copy word for word a paragraph from a journal
article/book
2. When you copy word for word a paragraph from a web site
3. When you write in your own words ideas from a journal
article/book
4. When you write in your own words ideas from a web site
5. None of these
6. All of the above
25. Quiz: Answer
No. 6 is correct
It is important to acknowledge any other person’s ideas/words that
you include in your work, either directly or indirectly. If you do not
make reference to someone else’s ideas/work you may be accused of
passing it off as your own (plagiarism).
26. Quiz: Round Three
If you have access to both, should
you include the DOI or URL?
1. DOI
2. URL
3. Both
4. Neither
27. Quiz: Answer
No. 1 is correct
DOIs are more secure than standard URLs. If you can
include one, you should.
