Change the following text into APA Referencing Style using ZOTERO.

The purpose of this assignment is to show common elements of the Harvard style of referencing
in Dundalk Institute of Technology. It is not intended to be an example of good quality academic
writing, and indeed may not make sense in general, but it should show you how citations and a
reference list are formed in the Harvard style of referencing (Dooley 2012).  If you include a
“direct quotation from a book you have read” (Byrne 2014, p.25) you should include the relevant
page number.

You don’t always have to write the author and year in brackets. Drury (2013) states that if the
author’s name occurs naturally in the text then the year follows it in brackets. If there are two
authors you should include both of them in the citation (Rucki and Rice 2012). If there are three
or more authors you don’t have to list all of the names in the citation but you should include
them all in the reference list (Torrington et al. 2014). The reference list should appear at the end
of your assignment and be in alphabetical order based on the first author’s surname (Theaker
2012) rather than the order in which they appear in your assignment (Browne 2011). If you are
using a citation for a second time you do not need to include it twice in the reference list (Drury
2013).

Referencing an academic journal that you find online requires more information in the reference
list but is the same as referencing a book in-text (Wirth 2018). If citing a source from a library
database you say from which database you found it (Parker et al. 2019).

Don’t forget that websites need to be cited too (Dundalk Institute of Technology 2015). We
recommend you look at the full version of DkIT’s Harvard referencing guidelines, and contact
the Library if you have any questions. Good luck.
