List of References - APA

Adobe PDF List of References - APA (PDF, 32kb)

APA referencing consists of two related and essential parts:

  1. In text citations show where you have referred to information from your research and reading, through paraphrases and quotations, in your assignment.(See the pamphlet titled In Text Citations – APA in this series for more information.)
  2. List of References contains full bibliographic information for each of the sources cited in your assignment. (This pamphlet explains how to format your References.)

How do I reference this?

The secret to referencing accurately is to firstly identify the type of resource. Is it an authored book, chapter in an edited book, journal article, online journal article, or webpage? The examples below show the formatting requirements of different types of sources. Remember to list your sources in alphabetical order.
