APA Referencing THIS IS A QUICK GUIDE TO THE APA REFERENCING STYLE (6TH EDITION)  The American Psychological Association reference style uses the Author-Date format.  Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for more information. Check the Library Catalogue for call number and location(s).  When quoting directly or indirectly from a source, the source must be acknowledged in the text by author name and year of publication. If quoting directly, a location reference such as page number(s) or paragraph number is also required. IN-TEXT Direct quotation – use quotation marks around the quote and include page numbers Samovar and Porter (1997) point out that language involves attaching meaning to symbols (p.188). Alternatively, “Language involves attaching meaning to symbols (Samovar Porter, 1997, p.188).

Page numbers are optional when paraphrasing, although it is useful to include them (Publication Manual, p. 171). Citations from a secondary source As Hall (1977) asserts, “culture also defines boundaries of different groups” (as cited in Samovar and Porter, 1997, p. 14).  At the end of your assignment, you are required to provide the full bibliographic information for each source. References must be listed in alphabetical order by author. EXAMPLES OF REFERENCES BY TYPE In a reference list In-text citation 1. Book with one author King, M. (2000).
