5. Don't Overdo it: Avoid making acknowledgments that are too long. Mention
significant contributions, but avoid making them too detailed or redundant.
Example of an acknowledgment in an article:
"Acknowledgment: The authors would like to thank Dr. John Smith for valuable
technical assistance during this research. We also appreciate the financial support
provided by the XYZ Foundation, which has made this research possible."
References
Citing is not only a writing tradition, but also a necessity that must be done by anyone
who does scientific work. One reason is that science is accumulative. That is, the author or
researcher who now always refers to the writing or the results of previous research.
Therefore, the author of a scientific paper must understand the technique or procedure of
writing the correct referral source. A writer of a scientific paper should not write a referral
source, either in-text notation, foot note, back note or arbitrary list of sources (bibliography)
and ignore the principle of consistency, or mix one model with another model (Muhzin,
2008). During this time, quite a lot of writers or researchers who ignore It.
Based on data from SCImago, throughout 1996-2016, the number of Indonesian
global indexed publications reached 54,146 publications. When compared to Singapore,
Thailand, and Malaysia, Indonesia's ranking are still far below the three ASEAN countries. In
2016, at the world level, Indonesia ranked is 45th for the number of published documents
internationally. In the Asian region, Indonesia's position is at number 11, while at the level of
ASEAN is ranked 4 th. In addition, trends in the number of publication documents in
Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia has increase continuously. Starting at 2010,
Malaysia shifted Singapore's position to 2 nd place. Related documents published in
Indonesia, the number increased to 46.41%v(11,470 publications) when compared to 7,834
publications in 2015. Although up, this figure is still far compared to Singapore (19,992
publications) and Malaysia (28,546 publications).
References are quotes that the author uses in text (essays, undergraduate
thesis/thesis/dissertations, journals, articles, etc.). There are different styles of quotations
depending on the field (Dawson, 2010). From the reference researchers usually get the
concepts, variables, theories or propositions to support or refute a statement in research
conducted (Wibisono, 2007). Researchers must uphold the two main moral or ethical
principles in the scientific world of truth and honesty (Suriasumantri, 2001:244). According
to the rules and calling the source of citations correctly, It means that a writer of scholarly
work has carried out two main moral principles in writing namely "the principle of honor"
and "the principle of recognition" (Nasir, Ideputri, and Muhith, 2011). The two principles are
inseparable, meaning that if a writer borrows another author's idea or idea then he must
respect it by acknowledging It.
American Psychological Association Style The American Psychological Association
(APA) developed its own model (APA style) in its publication. Now APA becomes the
standard editorial model in several sciences such as: psychology, sociology, economics,
criminology, social, and nursing (American Psychological Association, 2012). The quotation
on the APA model is able to illustrate a more appropriate citation format for a number of
commonly used research sources (Muhzin, 2008). Dawson (2010) stated that the list of
printed sources includes sources that are specifically found in libraries such as books,
journals, magazines, and newspapers. The list of electronic sources includes sources found
online or published on DVD or CDROM, including encyclopedias, journals, magazines,
newspapers, and government documents.
The importance of referencing
Referencing is important in all academic work because it shows where you have used
others’ ideas in your work especially for research report and journal publication (Allen,
2000). The source of reference is a series of writings written at the end of a scientific paper
which includes: the author's name, title, publisher, the publisher and the year identity of
publication which is the source or reference used by the researcher (American Psychological
Association, 2012). In the format of reference source, according to APA Style is divided into
several methods and examples shown in table 1 as follows:

Consistent referencing shows which ideas are our own and from where we found the
supporting evidence for our ideas (Wibisono, 2007). It demonstrates our ideas are based on
evidence we have found. Anything in our work for which we do not cite a source is assumed
to be our own original thought. If we do not show when we have used other people’s work we
could therefore be accused of pretending their ideas and findings are our own. This is
plagiarism and is a serious academic offence (Al Ma’ruf, 2014).
APA STYLE 7TH EDITION
APA 7th edition is one of the most popular citation styles. In this post, we discuss
formatting and citation rules for APA 7 and how it compares to previous versions. We also
include examples for how to cite books, journal articles, websites, and other online sources in
APA style.
A few key facts about APA style
APA style is one of the most common citation styles. It is used in fields like sociology,
business, philosophy, political science, computer science, and other science fields. APA style
uses in-text, parenthetical citations to cite quotes and other borrowed materials.
Differently from MLA (which calls the bibliography a Works Cited page), APA
requires a Reference list at the end of the paper that includes full bibliographic information
for each source. To learn more about APA style, take a look at our ultimate guide to citing in
APA style.
How to cite books in APA
To cite a book in a reference entry in APA style (7th edition) include the following elements:
1.) Author(s) of the book: Give the last name and initials (e. g. Watson, J. D.) of up to 20
authors. Separate the last two names with with an ampersand (&). For 21 or more
authors, include the first 19 names followed by an ellipsis (…), then add the last
author's name.
2.) Year of publication: Give the year in parentheses followed by a period.
3.) Title of the book: Book titles are italicized. Only the first letter of the first word and
proper nouns are capitalized.
4.) Edition number: Include information about the edition, if it is not the first.
5.) Publisher: Give the name of the publisher but omit terms such as Publishers, Co., and
Inc. Retain the words Books and Press.
APA 7 does not require you to include publication location in citations for books or book
chapters. Here is an example of a book citation in APA style:
Gade, D. W. (2003). Language, Identity, and the Scriptorial Landscape in Québec and
Catalonia. Geographical Review, 93(4), 429-448.
Online journal articles are not websites and use a different APA citation format. Use
our guide on the differences between websites and journal articles if you’re unsure about
whether a source is a website or journal article.
If you’re struggling to find academic sources for your paper, consider meeting with a
librarian or asking your instructor for help. When in doubt, always cite; this helps you to
avoid plagiarism.
How to cite a source with multiple authors in APA
APA 7 allows you to list up to 20 authors’ names in a citation. Sources with 21 authors
or more should include the first 19 names, then an ellipsis, followed by the last author of the
source.
Here is an example of a citation with multiple authors in APA 7:
Matsuda, W., Sonomura, T., Honma, S., Ohno, S., Goto, T., Hirai, S., Itoh, M., Honda,
Y., Fujieda, H., Udagawa, J., Takano, S., Fujiyama, F., Ueda, S. (2018). Anatomical variations
of the torcular Herophili: macroscopic study and clinical aspects. Anat. Sci. Int., 93 (4), 464–
468. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12565-018-0436-z
