Citation Guides

 

APA Style (American Psychological Association) is required.

Several APA style guides, including the Purdue OWL guide, are at http://library.queensu.ca/help-services/citing-sources

                Also, guides for business, government and legal sources are listed.

APA Citation Basics

 

  1. In-text citations: cite your sources in brief in the text of your paper.

  2. Listing references: cite your sources in full at the end of your report.

In-text citations provide just enough information for readers to locate the full citation in the reference list at the end of the report.

Why?

  • give credit and acknowledge where you found the idea, information, data 
  • avoid plagiarism
  • direct readers to the sources on which your research is based

Sources include academic articles and books, but also newspapers, magazines, government reports, statistics, web sites, social media, video...
