APA Style : Basic Rules as interpreted by Centennial College Libraries. For full details, go to

http://library.centennialcollege.ca/research/apa Page references are to the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th

ed. (2010)

Author name? In your paper, if you use author name(s) in your text, do not repeat

it in the in-text citation: example: Brown, Rammage and Tong (2008) claim that the use of open-source software encourages creativity. In contrast, if you do NOT use the name of the author in your text, do include it in the in-text citation: example: Others claim that the use of open-source software does encourage creativity (Brown, Rammage & Tong, 2008, p. 233). (See APA, p. 174)

Multiple authors of a single work? Two authors: include both names every time. For 3-5 authors: the first time you cite them, use all names; for later citations cite only 1

st name followed by “et al”. Example: Smith et al. For 6 or more authors: use

this format: Jones et al. at all times. (APA, p. 175, 177)

Citing more than one reference by the same author when publication date is the same? Add a letter to the publication dates to distinguishe one from the other; e.g. (Wolfensberger, 2001a, p. 40) and (Wolfensberger, 2001b, p. 555).

Page or chapter references? The APA recommends that you include page numbers when citing a specific page or series of pages in a publication; example: (Heller & Womack, 2008, p. 440-445). This recommendation also applies when you cite a specific chapter, image, table or equation; e.g. Smith, 2005, Chapter 4). (See APA, p. 179). Sometimes you want to refer generally to a whole article or book; in that case, no page references are needed.

No page numbers? If your publication has no page numbers, use paragraph numbers - example: (para. 5); or headings if given - example: (Introduction section). If heading is too long, you may simply quote a part of it - example: (“Discussion Relating to Opposing,” para. 6). (See APA, p. 171-172)

No date available? Use n.d.

How to cite legal materials (e.g. court cases, statutes)? See note to the right.

Reference list components: author (or editor) information, publication date, title, publisher information, electronic sources & locator information (APA, p. 191)

DOIs (digital object identifiers introduced in the latest APA style 6th

edition as a locator element): These are codes attached to documents (both electronic & print) for purposes of unique identification. APA recommends you use these codes, when available, in your References list. (See APA, p. 188-189).

Library database retrieval information to be included? APA states that one function of the references list is to provide readers with enough information to find the publications themselves. (APA, p. 198). Many in the academic community (including Centennial Libraries) interpret this statement to recommend that you normally include retrieval statements when listing electronic resources from the Internet or from databases; example: “Retrieved from EBSCO Academic Premier database.” (Thus overriding another APA statement elsewhere in the Manual that say database information is not absolutely necessary (See APA, p. 192).With this form of statement where database is named, you do not need to include a URL.

Retrieval date to be included for electronic items? APA recommends that you include this date only when you believe the material may move or disappear. (APA, p. 192)

Multiple authors of a single work? List all names for 1-7 authors. If there are more than 7 authors, include only the first 6, add four spaced dots (. . . .) and then the last author’s name. (APA, p. 184, 198)

Using more than one reference by the same author? Arrange by year of publication, earliest first. If references were published in the same year, arrange by author and title, and then add a letter to the year published (e.g. Wolfensberger, W. (2001a) Control…, Wolfensberger, W. (2001b). Roles of… )

No date available? Use n.d.

How to list legal materials (e.g. court cases, statutes)? Ask your instructor for direction & preferences. APA offers advice (see APA, pp. 216-224). See also Queens University Library Legal Citations website. http://library.queensu.ca/law/lederman/legalcitation and Canadian guide to uniform legal citation for help (copy held at Progress Campus Library).

About your In-text Citations:

ASK FIRST: Is my source in paper (print) format, a personal communication, or in electronic format? If electronic, where did I find it –library database, or Internet? Go then to the relevant section in this table (below).

PAPER (PRINT) FORMAT, DISC & TAPE, PERSONAL COMMUNICATION?

ELECTRONIC - LIBRARY DATABASE?

ELECTRONIC – WEBSITE?

THEN ASK: What precisely is the source? (Is it a journal or newspaper article or a book (etc.)? Try to find an example in this table that you can use as a model. Use examples from other sections and other libraries as needed. (See URL above.)
