REFERENCING AND BIBLIOGRAPHY (APA STYLE)

Bibliography

A bibliography is a list of all of the sources you have used (whether referenced or not) in the process of researching your work.

Quotations from online resources that do not provide page numbers

“The WTN exists to "encourage serendipity" -- the happy accidents of colliding ideas and new relationships that cause the biggest breakthroughs for individuals and institutions” (World Technology Network, 2014, para. 3).

Direct quotes

Quoting directly from a work should be done sparingly, in order to emphasis or stress a point in your essay. When using a quote, it must be copied exactly as written in the original work including any punctuation or incorrect spelling. When using a quote, include the author’s last name, year of publication and page number/s where the quote appears. Refer to the APA manual, 2010, p. 170-173 for further information.

The reference list

All references or information sources cited in any written work (i.e. essays, reports, research papers, etc.) need to be listed in a reference list on a separate page at the end of your assignment, headed ‘References’ or ‘Reference List’. The reference list provides all the details necessary for the person reading and/or marking the assignment to locate and retrieve any information source cited. An accurate and properly constructed reference list provides credibility to the written work it accompanies.

Short quote – less than 40 words

Example: “Self-directed learning is also a term with which you will become familiar as you study in Australia or New Zealand. Students are expected to take responsibility for their own learning and organise their own study” (Hally, 2009, p. 7).

In-text citation
