Senior School referencing | Videos: Introduction

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.

Basic Principles of Citation (APA Style, n.d.)
"APA Style uses the author–date citation system, in which a brief in-text citation directs readers to a full reference list entry. The in-text citation appears within the body of the paper (or in a table, figure, footnote, or appendix) and briefly identifies the cited work by its author and date of publication. This enables readers to locate the corresponding entry in the alphabetical reference list at the end of the paper." (APA Style, n.d.)
Basic Principles of Reference List Entries (APA Style, n.d.)
"A reference list entry generally has four elements: the author, date, title, and source. Each element answers a question:
* author: Who is responsible for this work?
* date: When was this work published?
* title: What is this work called?
* source: Where can I retrieve this work?" (APA Style, n.d.)
Author–Date Citation System (APA Style, n.d.)
Revised for the APA Style Guidelines 7th edition.
Includes information on referencing one, two, three and more authors as well as group authors.
"Use the author–date citation system to cite references in the text in APA Style. In this system, each work used in a paper has two parts: an in-text citation and a corresponding reference list entry." APA Style, n.d.)
In-Text Citations (APA Style, n.d.)
"In scholarly writing, it is essential to acknowledge how others contributed to your work. By following the principles of proper citation, writers ensure that readers understand their contribution in the context of the existing literature. (APA Style, n.d.)
