Remember this:
Part of your responsibility as a student is to comply with a writing assignment. Any written
report, especially an informative essay and writing a research paper must cite the sources of your data.
One way to cite sources is to list them in a bibliography
The term cite and refer (or citation and referencing) are often used to same thing since to cite a
piece of work is to provide a reference to its source.
1. APA (American Psychological Association) style is the most commonly used to cite sources
within the social sciences.
Study some rules in referencing based on the American Psychological Association (APA)
Guidelines.
Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information
necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each
source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the
reference list must be cited in your text.
Your references should begin on a new page separate from the text of the essay, label
this page “References” centered at the top of the page (do NOT boldface, underline, or use
quotation marks for the title). All texts, should be double-spaced, underline, or used quotation
marks for the title). All texts, should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.
Take a look
and
BASIC RULES
All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half
inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indention.
Author’s names are inverted (last name first); give the last names and initials for all authors
of a particular work for up to and including seven authors. If the work has more than seven
authors, list the first six authors and then use ellipses after the sixth author’s name. After the
ellipses, list the last author’s name of the work.
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in
chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
Present the journal title in full.
Maintain the punctuation and capitalization that is used by the journal in its title.
For example: ReCALL not RECALL or Knowledge Management Research & Practice
not Knowledge Management Research and Practice.
Capitalize all major words in journal titles.
When referring to books, chapters, articles, or Web pages, capitalize only the first letter of the
first word of a title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper
nouns. Do not capitalize the first letter of the second word in a hyphenated compound word.
Italicize titles of longer works such as books and journals.
Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as journal
articles or essays in edited collections.
Below are standard formats and examples for basic bibliographic information recommended by
the American Psychological Association (APA).
Note: If a document is
contained within a large
and complex website
(such as that for a
university or a
government agency),
identify the host
organization and the
relevant program or
department before giving
the URL for the
document itself. Precede
the URL with a colon.

2. Another style in writing bibliography is the Modern Language Association (MLA) style.
According to Purdue Online Writing Lab, it is most commonly used to write papers and cite
sources within the liberal arts and humanities. Purdue OWL has an update to reflect the MLA
Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7 th ed.) and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to
Scholarly Publishing (3rd ed.), which offers examples for the general format of MLA research
papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the Works Cited page.
