Senior School Referencing

In-text references (citations) and Reference lists (Bibliography) help you avoid plagiarism. When referencing the School uses APA 7th edition. APA is one of the more widely used referencing guidelines.

Use APA CiteMaker to build your references lists (bibliographies) as well as your in-text references (citations).

Referencing is a key part of the School's Academic Integrity policies and procedures. Copyright refers to who owns the work (text, images, data, etc.) you are using. Copyright and Creative Common licenses tell you if you have permission to use the other person's work and ideas.

• "APA Style uses the author–date citation system, in which a brief in-text citation directs readers to a full reference list entry.
• Each work cited must appear in the reference list, and each work in the reference list must be cited in the text (or in a table, figure, footnote, or appendix).
• Both paraphrases and quotations require citations" (APA Style, n.d.)

There are two ways to enter in text citations or references. These are:

• Parenthetical citation - The citation is enclosed in parenthesis.
• Narrative citation - The authors or authors name is in the body of your text with the publication date and details enclosed in parenthesis.

While both are correct it helps to be consistent and stick with one approach. See the following examples sourced from the APA Style guidelines:
