Attributing or "citing" sources of information
is essential to the integrity of scholarly and professional
communication. In all science, sources must be verifiable.
To facilitate access to supporting information by professors
and others interested in our work, we use a common protocol
know as a "style sheet." The style recommended for
education research at Averett University is from the American
Psychological Association. It is called "APA Style"
for short.

APA Citation Style
|
Use these print sources to create your "in text"
citations and list of "References:"
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association
(BF76.7.P83 2001)
Concise Rules of APA Style (BF76.7.C66 2005)
The education librarian has prepared Guidelines
for APA Style (PDF).
We recommend that you print and review this guide before completing
Worksheet 5.

Quotations
|
Only limited passages should be
quoted directly. Use careful paraphrasing to express ideas
gathered from the work of others. This is a good opportunity
to compare and contrast your sources.
|
Cite all quotes and paraphrased ideas!
|
To avoid plagiarism,
cite sources for all ideas you gather from the work of others,
regardless of whether you quote, paraphrase, or contrast views
of various authors. |
|
Cite Statistical Sources
|
To facilitate replication
of your research, make it easy for your readers to access the
statistical tables and data sets you used. Specify your methodology
if you employed statistical analyses. |
