Americal American Psychological Association Style Sample
Introduction
The American Psychological Association (APA) style is primarily used in the social
science disciplines. It is formatted like Modern Language Association (MLA), and shows
many similarities, but is unique in several key points. This paper discusses the APA in
detail. Addressing plagiarism has become a major challenge in education and educating
students in referencing correctly with the APA 6th is one way of trying to overcome the
problem (Bretag, 2014; Hosny & Fatima, 2014).
Discussion
APA uses parenthetical (or in-text) citations within sentences, but rather than indicating
the author's name and page number, APA includes author's name and date of publication.
The page number, represented with a p. or a pp., is only added to the citation when using a
direct quote (not a summary or paraphrase). If the author's name is mentioned in the
sentence, then place the date of publication in parentheses directly after the name. If the
name is not mentioned include the author's name and date in parentheses at the end of the
source material. And, if you use a direct quote, place the page number after the publication
date within the parentheses.
Examples
Note the difference between the following three examples:
Essay Example 3
Terrence (2007) has presented poignant examples from 150 interviews. However, it has
been pointed out that the research was conducted in a selective, highly biased, way (Strong
& Porter, 1998). All of the interviewees have been called “exceptions to the norm” (Strong
& Porter, 1998 p. 5).
Note the first example paraphrases an author that is named in the sentence, the second
example paraphrases authors that are not named in the sentence, and the third example
provides a direct quote (thus the inclusion of the page numbers) but also does not identify
the authors within the sentence. If the authors were identified within the sentence in the third
example, the authors' names would be followed by the year of publication and only the page
numbers would be in the parentheses at the end of the quote.
Format
Finally, the bibliographic page in APA style differs from MLA, what APA calls the
Reference page. You will notice a few immediate differences from the MLA Works Cited
format. With APA you include the initial of the author's first name rather than the complete
name, the publication date immediately follows the author's name in parentheses, and titles
of articles are not surrounded with quotation marks. The lists are still alphabetized by
author's last name (or title in the absence of an author) and the first line is flush left while
subsequent lines in the same entry are indented in (approximately 5 spaces or one tab). A
good resource to help you with referencing is Notre Dame’s referencing guide at

list rather than a bibliography with your paper (American Psychological Association, 2018).
A reference list consists of all sources cited in the text of a paper whereas a bibliography
may include resources that were consulted but not cited in the text as well as an annotated
description of each one.
Summary
The School of Education, University of Notre Dame Australia, uses the APA 6th
referencing style for all written documents. In addition to in text referencing and the
reference list there are a number of formatting requirements to ensure your essay complies
with APA standards. Get to know the APA 6th.
