Guide to Writing References

The referencing style for this journal follows APA format.

 

About APA Style:

There are two parts to referencing: the citations within the text of your paper and the reference list at the end of your paper.

The American Psychological Association's (APA) referencing style is an "author-date" style, so the citation in the text consists of the author(s) and the year of publication given wholly or partly in round brackets.

Use only the surname of the author(s) followed by a comma and the year of publication. Include page, chapter, or section numbers if you need to be specific, for example, if you are quoting, paraphrasing, or summarising:
 

No distinction is made between books, journal articles, internet documents, or other formats except for electronic documents that do not provide page numbers. In this case use the paragraph number, if available, with the abbreviation para.

The full details of the source are given in a reference list at the end of the document:

Reference list entries contain all the information required to follow up on your source. Reference lists in APA are arranged alphabetically by author.

See Reference List Entries or All Examples for details on constructing references for specific resources such as books, journals, and web pages.
