Which parts of the information provided would you use for listing the article in an APA format reference list (a list attached to the end of one’s writing, under the heading “References” that shows one or more publications used)?

Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Book title: Subtitle after colon. Location, State Abbreviation:

Paraphrasing is more acceptable and should be done frequently, again with appropriate references of the author’s name and publication date. Should several paragraphs be from the same reference, each paragraph needs to have the reference at least once, usually after the first or last sentence. However, it is appropriate to use multiple references in a paragraph. When this is done, place the reference after each new reference so that the reader knows from where the information came.

• The page number or page range is omitted if the entire work is cited. The author 's surname is omitted if it appears in the text. Thus we may say: "Jones (2001) revolutionized the field of trauma surgery."

quote. It can include the author‟s name and also can include a short mention of his or her credentials.

* Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

Abbreviations are standardized for the title of a case and the citation information itself. Abbreviations are intended to save space so the citations do not overwhelm the text. The standardized abbreviations are listed in The Bluebook Tables.

The APA style calls for three kinds of information to be included in in-text citations. The author's last name and the work's date of publication must always appear. The page number is only in a citation to a direct quotation.

When you include a direct quotation or paraphrase referring to a specific passage in your paper, always include the author and year, as well as the page number, as part of the citation. APA requires the author, year, and page number for direct quotations and recommends providing the same information for paraphrases.

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.
