The writer didn't cite their sources correctly but present the sources in a misleading way.

Verbatim

Copy language word for word from another source and use that language in your paper

Mosaic

Copy bits and pieces from a source (or several sources), changing a few words.

Inadequate paraphrase

Do not completely restate the ideas in the passage in your own words

Uncited paraphrase

When you use your own language to describe someone else's idea without cite

Uncited quotation

Do not credit the author of that material and provide a trail for your reader to follow back to the original document

To take any idea or any language from someone else without adequately crediting that source.

Is there a particular format for headings and seriations?

Seriations

Help authors organize and present key ideas.For lists where a specific order or numbered procedure is necessary, use an Arabic numeral directly followed by a period.

For seriation within sentences, authors may use letters.

The first letter of each sentence must be capitalized, also each sentence must end with a period.

Numbered lists should contain full sentences or paragraphs rather than phrases. Use bullet points if your list is not hierarchical.

Headings

Format

Writers who use APA Style may use the automatic headings function of their word-processing program to create headings.

If you use Microsoft Word to write your APA Style papers, use the Styles menu to format headings.

If you use Academic Writer to write your APA Style papers, the headings menu in the Writing Center will format headings for you in 7th edition APA Style.

Headings identify the content within sections of a paper. The number of headings to use in a paper depends on the length and complexity of the work.

Level 5: subheading of Level 4

Use this level if is only necessary.

Level 4: subheading of Level 3

Use level four headings for smaller divisions within your paper

Level 3: subheading of Level 2

Divide your major sections into smaller sections with level three headings. Use bold type, italicize, and title case capitalization but only in the first word

Level 2: subheading of Level 1

For subsections within the introduction. Level 2 headings are used to divide your document into main sections. Use bold type and little case capitalization

Level 1: highest or main level of heading

Use level one headings for the title of your paper and make the heading in bold type

Formatting the APA reference page

The reference page is the list of all the sources that you’ve cited throughout your paper. It’s placed right after the main body and before any appendices .

Format:Double spacing (within and between references) Hanging indent of ½ inch Legible font (e.g. Times New Roman 12 or Arial 11) Page number in the top right header

What about the list of references?

Depending on the type of source, you may have to include extra information that helps your reader locate the source.

- 👨🏫Author - 🗓Publication date - 🗒Title - 📚Source.

How to do in-text citations for different sources?

You include them every time you quote or paraphrase someone else’s ideas or words.

Quotations’ Types

Block quotations (40 words or more)

❌Do not use quotation marks to enclose a block quotation. ✅Start a block quotation on a new line and indent the whole block 0.5 in. from the left margin. ✅Double-space the entire block quotation. ❌Do not add extra space before or after it. ❗If there are additional paragraphs within the quotation, indent the first line of each subsequent paragraph an additional 0.5 in.

Short quotations (fewer than 40 words)

- Add quotation marks around the words - Incorporate the quote into your own text

Parenthetical vs. narrative citation

- Parenthetical citation - Example: According to new research … (Smith, 2020). - Narrative citation - Example: Smith (2020) notes that …

In-text citation
