2. A citation is a reference to the source of information used in your research. Any time you
directly quote, paraphrase or summarize the essential elements of someone else's idea in
your work, an in-text citation should follow.

5. Reference
A reference list is the detailed list of references that are cited in your work.
What are the four elements of a reference?
In general, a reference should contain four elements, which you can remember as the four W's: author
name ("who"), date of publication ("when"), title of the work ("what"), and publication data ("where"). This
is the basic principle behind all APA Style references.
Reference list entries include the four elements of the author, date, title, and source.
References of Book
Author/Editor (if it is an editor always put (ed.) ...
Title (this should be in italics)
Series title and number (if part of a series)
Edition (if not the first edition)
Place of publication (if there is more than one place listed, use the first named)
Publisher.
Year of publication.

6. Bibliography
A bibliography is a detailed list of references cited in your work, plus the background readings or other material that
you may have read, but not actually cited

9. APA
APA format is the official style of the American Psychological Association (APA) and is commonly used to
cite sources in psychology, education, and the social sciences.
The “APA style” is an author-date style for citing and referencing information in assignments and
publications. This guide is based on the "Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association" 6th edition (2010).
cite in APA 6th edition?
In parentheses begin with "as cited in". Then, add the last name of the author of the secondary source
followed by the year of publication. Be sure to include a comma between the author's name and the
publication date. End with a period if at the end of a sentence.
While quoting directly, Include the exact spelling and interior punctuation of the borrowed words. The
author, year of publication, and page number(s) or paragraph number for non-paginated materials are always
included in the text and a reference citation is included in the reference list.
APA style example
APA in-text citation style uses the author's last name and the year of publication, for example: (Field, 2005).
For direct quotations, include the page number as well, for example: (Field, 2005, p. 14).Nov 10, 2020.

12. URL in APA style
The Web page address should not be hyperlinked -- that is, not in blue and not underlined. If the address must
be split into two lines on your References page, break the URL before most punctuation (slash, dash, etc),
except for http://. Do not add a period after the end of the address.Jan 29, 2020
Example of URL
http://www.example.com/index.html , which indicates a protocol ( http ), a hostname ( www.example.com ),
and a file name ( index.html ).
