LibGuides: Referencing and Avoiding Plagiarism: APA

The American Psychological Association (APA) referencing style is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences. It is currently used for courses such as Psychology, Education, and Learning and Teaching in the National College of Ireland.

The APA style is based on an author-date system which includes in-text referencing throughout the written work and then full referencing details are provided at the end of the work in a list titled the Reference List.

NB: Other referencing styles such as Harvard or IEEE may be used by your course – please consult with your lecturer to confirm which style they require you to use.

Getting Started

Please note: Following the publication of the 7th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association in 2019, some changes have been made to the APA referencing style. This online guide has been updated to reflect the 7th edition of APA - we are currently working on updating the physical NCI Library Referencing Guide and recommend that students consult the online version of the guide in the meantime.

Below is a list of the main changes:

Sources with 3 or more authors
If your source has three or more authors, use the first author's surname followed by et al. for all mentions in-text.	Examples of in-text citations: One author - Smith (2019) or (Smith, 2019) Two authors - Jones and Brown (2019) or (Jones & Brown, 2019) Three or more authors - Wilson et al. (2019) or (Wilson et al., 2019)
No longer required to include the terms 'doi:' or 'Retrieved from' in the full reference of electronic/online sources.
Only the hyperlink for the doi or the URL are required to be included in the full text reference of an online source. If you are referencing an online journal article and no doi is available simply end the reference at the page numbers - do not include a URL.	Webpage example (with URL): American Psychological Association. (2019). About APA. https://www.apa.org/about/index Online/eJournal article example (with doi): Wood, W. (2017). Habit in personality and social psychology. Personality and Social Psychology Review, 21(4), 389-403. https://doi.org/10.1177/1088868317720362
eBook URLs/links
Do not include a URL in an ebook reference if accessed via a subscription based academic database (i.e. ebooks accessed via the Library) - instead simply end the reference at the page numbers.
The place of publication is no longer required in the full text reference of books.
It is no longer required to include the place of publication followed by a colon before the name of the publisher in the full text reference of a book.	Example: Santrock, J. W. (2015). Life-span development. McGraw-Hill.

For more information regarding the 7th edition of the APA manual, you can borrow a copy from the library (check availability) or take a look at these sources: https://apastyle.apa.org/ or https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/reference-examples.pdf

According to the APA 7th edition guidelines, a specific format should be used throughout your document. It is recommended that the format includes the following:

1 inch margins on all sides of the page (top, bottom, left, and right)
A legible font. For example: 11-point Calibri, 11-point Arial, 12- point Times New Roman, and 11-point Georgia
Use double-spacing for the entire paper (including block quotations and the reference list). Do not add blank lines before or after headings. Do not add extra spacing between paragraphs
Align paragraphs of text to the left margin. Indent the first line of every paragraph of text 0.5 in
Put a page number in the top right corner of every page, including the title page

You can also find an example of a student paper formatted using the 7th edition of APA here: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/paper-format/sample-papers

Also check out the Student Paper Setup Guide

For further guidance on APA style, see these resources below:

When using the APA referencing style, a reference needs to be made at the exact point at which a source is referred to in the text of your work. This consists of a short, basic reference (Author, Year) inserted every time you use or refer to someone else’s work in-text.

Example:

Many young adults “understand that thinking can't always be abstract. In many instances, it must be realistic and pragmatic” (Santrock, 2015).

There are two ways to use in-text citations:

Parenthetical citation: (Santrock, 2015)
Narrative citation: Santrock (2019)

See here for more information on parenthectical and narrative citations: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/basic-principles/parenthetical-versus-narrative

N.B. If you are using a direct quotation you must also include the page number (if the source has page numbers} that the original appears on in the in-text citation i.e. (Author, date, page number).

See here for more guidance on using direct quotations: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/quotations

When using the APA referencing style, a reference needs to be made in your reference list at the end of your work. A reference list provides comprehensive details of the sources used throughout your written work.

If a reader wants to know the full details of a source you have used, they can refer to your reference list.

Example:

Reference List

Santrock, J. W. (2015). Life-span development. (15th ed.). McGraw Hill.

Hanging Indentation:

In your reference list, if an reference entry spans across more than one line, all of the lines after the first line of the entry should be indented one-half inch from the left margin.

Coghlan, D., & Coughlan, P. (2014). Effecting change and learning in networks through network action learning. The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, 51(3), 375-400.
