 What is APA Format?

APA format is the official style of

the American Psychological Association
(APA) and is commonly used to cite sources
in psychology, education, and the social
sciences. The APA style originated in a 1929
article published in Psychological
Bulletin that laid out the basic guidelines.
So why is APA format so important in
psychology and other social sciences?

By using APA style, researchers and

students writing about psychology
are able to communicate
information about their ideas and
experiments in a consistent format.

The American Psychological Association

referencing style (or APA as it is more
commonly known) is used across a variety of
disciplines. The sixth and latest edition was

 APA FORMAT
The APA in text reference is in the format (author, date).
When directly quoting from a text you must include a
page number in the citation as given in the examples
below. Including page numbers in all other
circumstances is not required however, it is best
practice to do so when referring to part of a work (e.g.
a paragraph or chapter in a book). When referring to
an entire work that covers a single topic (e.g. a journal
article) it is not required.

In-text citations
An in-text citation is in the body of your assignment
and can be either a paraphrase or quotation.
Paraphrasing is putting in your own words what the
author has written. When paraphrasing, there are
two ways you can reference: the author’s name
can be incorporated in your text or included in
brackets with the year of publication.

 Plagiarism
A breach of academic integrity. It is a principle of
intellectual honesty that all members of the academic
community should acknowledge their debt to the
originators of the ideas, words, and data which form the
basis for their own work.
Plagiarism is unethical and can have serious
consequences for your future career; it also undermines
the standards of your institution and of the degrees it
issues.
