A Brief Note On American Psychological Association Style

Correct C.Include all authors' last names, initial of first and middle (if applicable) names, AND the year of publication.

Here is the section of the style guide that might help you with your citations.

The Reference section should start on a separate page under the centered heading References, which does not use bold font. The reference entries should appear in alphabetical order by authors' surname (or by title if works do not list an author) regardless of the type of source (e.g., book, film, journal article, website).

• Two or three authors are cited using "and" or "&": (Deane, Smith, and Jones, 1991) or (Deane, Smith & Jones, 1991). More than three authors are cited using et al.

Use correct reference format, see Section 5.10 of this guide. (The two citations are not included in your word count but your comments are)). (41 + 75)

I can see now I did not put the year no were, but I have listed the authors. In the APA format, I was supposed to list the authors with the year it was publish at the start. I am used to the MLA, which year goes at the end of the citation in an essay.

American Psychological Association (APA) writing style exists for a reason and this reason is because writers' must give “credibility where credibility is due”(Walden Writing Center, 2015) . During my BSW program I learned this and also, the importance of integrity in college level writing. In my opinion, two aspects of APA that I think will not challenge me are direct quotations and listing references. I have to admit I prefer to quote intellecutual matter directly rather than, use paraphazing. I believe this is approriate to do if the quote you utilize is short and all of your agrguments regarding, the content of the quote, are your own ideas. Another thing that will come easily to me is listing my references. This comes easily to me because during my undergraduate education, I excelled in this area. The reason for this is because everytime I wrote a reference page I always refered to my courses APA manual.
