This is done by listing all sources at the end of a work in a reference list or bibliography, as well as citing in the text where an original author’s ideas or words are used. Referencing, citing and quoting correctly ensures that: Credit for the intellectual content of material used is clearly given to the original author(s). This avoids plagiarism (misrepresenting the ideas or words of others as your own). Sources can be identified and located for verification or further research. Style manuals have been prepared to help researchers in various academic disciplines to document and present this information in a consistent and complete manner. The preferred style for most faculties at Manukau Institute of Technology is that of the American Psychological Association (APA). In this style, the source of an idea or quote is briefly cited in the text of a work using parentheses. This citation links to the reference list at the end of the work, where the source is fully documented. The basic requirements for creating a reference, using quotations and citations, and compiling a reference list, as given in the sixth edition (2009) of the APA’s manual are presented here. Examples of common types of sources used for student assignments are included. For more complete information and additional examples consult the following: Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). MIT Library Reference and General (Lending) Collections 808.06615 APA APA Style Guide to Electronic References (6th ed.). http://catalogue.manukau.ac.nz/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=570133 APA Style Website http://www.apastyle.org/ APA Style Blog http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/ APA has very stringent specifications regarding the formatting of headings, spacing, margins, fonts, etc. for papers submitted for publication. Check with your lecturer about your faculty’s requirements for presenting your assignment. Note that while APA and most faculties require double-spacing of text and reference list, examples given here have been single spaced.

Identify the type of source. Match with an example of that type. (see pages 6-9 for examples) Follow the formatting in the example. Take notes on the sources you are reading Use your own words as much as possible. Copy key phrases/sentences exactly; also record the page or paragraph number. Keep your notes in order using cards, a notebook, or software such as EndNote. When writing, integrate the ideas gathered from your reading and write in your own words. Insert citations (author’s last name, year) in your writing to identify the source of an idea. Include quotations sparingly to support a main point of your writing; add the page number of a quote to the citation. List references on a new page at the end of your writing. References are listed in alphabetical order. Ensure that there is a reference for each citation, and at least one citation for each reference. Creating a reference for a source Create the reference for each source when you begin taking notes on that source. Make sure that details are accurate and complete. Specific details and formatting are required for a reference, and vary according to the type and format of the source. If in doubt, include more, rather than less, information to assist a reader of your work wanting to trace the source of an idea or quote identified in your writing. Follow the guidelines below, and refer to the sample references for examples of various sources. Each reference should contain the following elements: Author Publication Date Title Publication or Retrieval information A full stop is used at the end of each element, except following a retrieval statement that ends with a web address or a DOI. One space follows punctuation such as commas, colons, semi-colons, and full stops, except after the colon following a DOI and after full stops within abbreviations in text such as a.m., n.d., N.Z. Author and Editor information List an author by family name, followed by a comma and initial or initials. List the names of multiple authors in the order in which they are given in the work. When there are two to seven authors, include all authors’ names, and use an ampersand & before the last author’s name. When there are eight or more authors, include the first six authors’ names, then insert three ellipsis points … and add the last author’s name. Spell out in full the name of a group author (organisation, association, university department, etc.); the name of the large group precedes a subdivision. Use commas after family names and initials, to separate initials and suffixes (Jr. or III), and after the name of a large group when a subdivision follows. Treat an editor as an author, but put (Ed.) in parentheses after the editor’s name. For audiovisual media such as audio recordings, DVDs, motion pictures, podcasts, television and radio broadcasts, etc., give the names of the primary contributors, followed by the function, such as Writer, Director, Producer, Presenter, in parentheses. For an episode of a broadcast series, use the same format as a chapter in a book, listing writer and director in author position, and series producer in editor position. When a work has no author, move the title to the author position, in front of the publication date. Information Services Manukau Institute of Technology Library IS:APA:apa6thupdate 968-8000 x8959 ask-us@manukau.ac.nz 3 Date information Record the publication date in parentheses and add a full stop ( ). For books, audiovisual media, reports, web documents or articles in journals give the year. For articles in magazines, newsletters and newspapers, including electronic versions, give the year followed by a comma and month (2010, February) or year followed by a comma and month day (2012, July 3) of the issue. For papers and poster sessions from meetings and conferences, give the year followed by a comma and month of the meeting (2011, December). For postings to social media sites, blogs, message boards, electronic mailing lists and the like, give the year followed by a comma and the month and day (2012, May 17); use the archived version and URL if possible. When no date is available write (n.d.) in parentheses. This applies to undated printed sources as well as Internet documents that display no date of publication or update. For undated sources when a date can be reasonably determined, put ca. and the approximate year in parentheses. e.g. (ca. 2010) Title information Provide the title followed by a colon and the subtitle, if there is one. Include initial articles A, An, The in title information, but alphabetise according to the next word. Capitalise proper names in titles. For sources produced in special formats (these can include Audio file, Blog post, Brochure, Interview transcript, Lecture notes, Letter to the editor, Motion picture, Painting, PowerPoint presentation, Press release, Television series episode, Twitter update, Video file) place a statement of format after the title in brackets [ ]. Books, chapters of books, reports, audiovisual media, web pages Capitalise the first word of the title and the subtitle; italicise the title, and subtitle if there is one. Additional information such as edition or report number is enclosed in parentheses after the title. For chapters of books, provide the title of the chapter, not italicised, and details of the book in which it appears; italicise the title of the book. For chapters of books, record the page numbers of the chapter in parentheses after the title and edition of the book; use the abbreviation pp. For chapters of edited books (chapters are written by different authors and the whole work edited), place the word In after the chapter title. Follow it with the initials and family name of the editor(s) and (Ed.) in parentheses, then the book title, edition, and the chapter page numbers in parentheses. For chapters of authored books (all chapters are written by the same author or authors), place the word In after the chapter title. Follow it with the book title, edition, and the chapter page numbers in parentheses. For electronic versions of print books, add the name of the version, if available, in brackets after the title. Articles in journals, magazines, newspapers Provide the title and subtitle of a periodical article, and the full title of the periodical in which it was published. Capitalise only the first word of the title and subtitle of the article, and any proper names; capitalise all major words in the title of the periodical. Use standard font for the article title; italicise the periodical title. Postings on blogs, discussion boards and electronic mailing lists Use the subject line or “thread” of the message as a title; do not italicise it. Add a description of format in brackets. Information Services Manukau Institute of Technology Library IS:APA:apa6thupdate 968-8000 x8959 ask-us@manukau.ac.nz 4 Papers and poster sessions from meetings and conferences: Give the title in italics. Follow with a statement of presentation type followed by the name of conference and the location. Publication information Books, reports, audiovisual materials Record the name of the city and state for U.S. publishers; abbreviate state names. Find state abbreviations at http://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/28apb.htm Write out in full the city, state or province if applicable, and country for publishers in other countries. If multiple cities are given, use the location listed first, or the city of the home office. Place a colon : after the location. After the colon provide the name of the publisher in a brief form; omit words such as Publisher, Co. and Inc. but include Books or Press. When the author is also the publisher, use Author instead of the publisher’s name. For audiovisual materials give the location and name of the production company; for motion pictures give the country of origin and the studio. If it is more relevant, provide the location and name of the distributing company in parentheses. Articles in journals, magazines, newspapers Include the volume number, issue number in parentheses, and page numbers after the title of the periodical; do not use the abbreviation p. or pp. Issue numbers do not need to be included if page numbering is continuous through a volume. Italicise the title of the periodical and its volume number; use commas after the periodical title and after the closing parenthesis for issue number. For magazine articles with only volume or issue numbering, provide the number followed by a comma and the page numbers. For newspaper articles with no volume or issue numbering, use p. or pp. before page numbers. For PDF versions of documents, give inclusive page numbers. Retrieval information for electronic sources For more information see the APA guide to electronic referencing http://catalogue.manukau.ac.nz/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=570133 For electronic books, chapters and reports, the retrieval statement takes the place of publication information. When a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is available, it should be added at the end of the reference, even if you have used the print version of the source. The DOI provides a persistent link and takes the place of a URL or database name. Use the format as published, either doi:xxxxxxxxxxxx or http://dx.doi.org/10.xxxx/xxxxxx When no DOI has been assigned, add a retrieval statement with the URL of the home page of the journal or book or/ report publisher, or the e-book collection. When there is no DOI and the journal or publisher has no web page or the journal has been discontinued, add a retrieval statement with the name of the archiving collection or database. Include the name of the website in the retrieval statement, if this is not obvious from the web address. The database name is not required unless the document is hard to find or of limited circulation; provide the URL of the archiving database. For postings on blogs, discussion boards and electronic mailing lists, include a retrieval statement with the address of the archived version. For reports retrieved online, put the publisher’s name in the retrieval statement, unless the publisher is also the author. A retrieval date is not required unless the electronic source is expected to change over time (e.g. non archived social media pages). Information Services Manukau Institute of Technology Library IS:APA:apa6thupdate 968-8000 x8959 ask-us@manukau.ac.nz 5 If you need to break a URL or DOI from one line to the next, do so after http:// and before punctuation, such as a slash or full stop. Do not use a full stop at the end of a URL or DOI. Copy a DOI or URL exactly; check that the link still works just before submitting your work. If a document is no longer available, it is recommended that you use another source. Retrieval statement help To search for a possible DOI go to http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/ and enter the first author’s name and document title. To retrieve a document using the DOI go to http://www.crossref.org and enter the DOI in the resolver box.

Citation is a method of briefly acknowledging and identifying the source of an idea or quote within your writing. Each citation links to its reference in the list at the end of your assignment, where complete details of the source are provided. Cite when summarising or paraphrasing ideas or concepts. Cite and add the page number when referring to a specific fact, table, chart, diagram or the like. Cite and add the page number and quotation marks when copying exact words or a unique phrase. Cite all facts and figures that are not common knowledge. Author-Date style The APA style of citing is known as the author-date, or Harvard, method. Within your writing insert the author’s last name, followed by the year of the work. Use the author’s name in your sentence with year in parentheses McPherson (2011) recommends … or place name and year in parentheses. Another source (McPherson, 2011) recommends… When citing a specific part of a source, also list the appropriate page, chapter or table after the date. (McPherson, 2011, p. 140) When citing multiple authors use the word and in your writing; use an ampersand & when names are in parentheses. (See page 3 for creating a reference for works by multiple authors.) When a work has two authors, always cite both names. (Felder & Solomon, n.d.) or Felder and Solomon (n.d.) state that… If a work has three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the first time the reference occurs; in subsequent citations use the first author’s family name and et al., followed by the year. (Picard, Landis, & Jaffe, 2008); then (Picard et al., 2008) If a work has six or more authors, cite only the first author’s family name followed by et al. and the year (Stockley et al., 2009). Names of group authors such as organisations are usually written out in full for each citation. However if the name is long and its abbreviation would be readily understood, the name may be abbreviated in second and subsequent citations. First citation: Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment [MBIE] (2014); second citation: MBIE (2014). Works with no author are cited in the text of your writing by using the first few words of the reference listing (usually the title) and the year. Italicise the title of a book, periodical, brochure or report (Chambers Dictionary, 2014). Use double quotation marks around the title of a chapter of a book or an article in a periodical (“MPs leave”, 2012). Cite legal materials like works with no author; use the first few words of the reference and the year. Italicise a case Holdfast NZ Ltd v Henkel, (2007), but do not italicise other legal sources (Local Government Act 2002). If you are citing two or more sources within parentheses, list the sources in alphabetical order by the first author’s family name and use a semicolon to separate the citations. Several sources (Picard, Landis, & Jaffe, 2007; Russell, 2007) suggest that… If sources are by the same author(s), list the author(s) name(s) followed by the publication dates with the earliest date given first; use commas to separate the dates. (Smith, 2005, 2007) or (Stringelman, 2009a, 2009b) Personal communications, such as letters, memos, email, private social media pages, non-archived discussion groups, non-recorded interviews, or telephone conversations, are cited in the text, but not included in the reference list. N. Writer (personal communication, October 9, 2011) has indicated that… Course materials that are available only from a lecturer, note-taker or on a password-protected course management system should be treated as personal communication and cited in text, but not included in the reference list, as they are not retrievable by others. Give as precise a date as possible. (X. Lecturer, personal communication, November 17, 2012) An entire website rather than a particular document on the site, can be referred to and cited in the text of a sentence by providing the address in parentheses. A reference is not needed. MIT students should become familiar with the research tools available on the library website (http://library.manukau.ac.nz/). Information Services Manukau Institute of Technology Library IS:APA:apa6thupdate 968-8000 x8959 ask-us@manukau.ac.nz 10 Year in second and subsequent citations Include the year whenever the author’s name is cited using parentheses. Within a paragraph, if the first citation uses the author’s name in text and the year in parentheses, the year does not need to be repeated in further in-text citations. Within a paragraph, if the first citation places both name and year in parentheses, the year should be included in subsequent citations. . Citing a secondary source Secondary source is the term used for a work that discusses a previous work in some way; the previous or original work is the primary source. Many textbooks cite and explain primary sources. While using primary sources is preferred, secondary sources are acceptable if properly cited and referenced. When citing from a secondary source, list both primary and secondary authors in the text citation Fagan’s study (as cited in Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Sharma, & Scott-Ladd, 2011) clarified… In the reference list include only the reference for the secondary source (Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Sharma, & Scott-Ladd), the work you have actually read. Using Quotations Material that is written down exactly as it appears in a previous work is a quotation. When quoting, cite the author, date, and page number of the source in the text of your work, and provide complete details of the source in your reference list. For electronic sources without page numbers, provide a paragraph number, or a heading and following paragraph number. Use the abbreviation, para. “The popularity of courses such as blogging and the lack of popularity for a course on business journalism indicates [both American and New Zealand] students’ lack of strong career aspirations in journalism” (Hannis, 2011, Conclusions, para. 3). If fewer than 40 words, a quotation should be enclosed in double quotation marks and included in the text of what you are writing. Professors/lecturers are reminded that “understanding the effects of cultural differences in professor/student encounters becomes increasingly important for designing effective learning experiences and avoiding misunderstandings”(Swanson, Frankel, & Sagan, 2005, p. 47). If 40 or more words, omit the quotation marks and make a block quotation. Start the quotation on a new line that is indented five to seven spaces; keep all lines flush with the indent. Swanson, Frankel and Sagan (2005) concluded that: As our classrooms become more and more globally diverse in their make-up, understanding the effects of cultural differences in professor/student encounters becomes increasingly important for designing effective learning experiences and avoiding misunderstandings….Research such as this can aid professors by providing insight into what are the critical encounters as perceived by students of a particular culture, and the correct responses if improving the learning environment is desired (p. 47). The first letter of the first word in a quote may be changed to capital or lower case, and punctuation at the end of a sentence changed to fit the syntax. See the example above of a quote of fewer than 40 words. If you omit part of the quote, you must indicate this by replacing the omitted word(s) with three ellipsis points ... Use four points to indicate words omitted between sentences. See the example above of a quote of 40 or more words. Do not begin or end a quote with ellipsis points. Words added to the original quote, for clarity or explanation, are inserted in brackets [ ] See the example above of a quote from an electronic source without page numbers. Errors in spelling, grammar, etc. in the original source should be copied, but insert the word [sic] (italicised and in brackets) to indicate that the error is in the quoted work. Creating a reference list A list of the specific sources that you used in your research should be included at the end of your assignment. Each reference in the list must be cited at least once in the text of your work, and each source cited must be included in the references. The exceptions to this rule are classical works and personal communications (letters, memos, email) which are not publicly available; these are cited, but not included in the reference list. Information Services Manukau Institute of Technology Library IS:APA:apa6thupdate 968-8000 x8959 ask-us@manukau.ac.nz 11 List references on a new page. The title, References, should be centred at the top of the page. Place the reference list at the end of the text of your work, before any appendixes. The hanging indent format should be used; start each entry flush with the left margin and indent subsequent lines approximately ½ inch or five to seven spaces. List the sources in alphabetical order according to the family name of the author or editor; alphabetise letter by letter. List several works by the same author(s) in date order, with earliest first. List works by the same author(s) with the same publication date alphabetically by the title that follows the date (exclude articles A, An, The). Add a lowercase letter, a, b…to the year in parentheses. If there is no author or editor, alphabetise by title. Sample reference list Reminder: While APA requires double-spacing for the References as well as the text of a work, these examples have been singlespaced. Follow the requirements of your department when formatting line spacing, margins, headings and the like. References Alexanyan, K. (Writer), & Strzelinski, J. (Producer). (2008).
