Reference List - APA style 2007 -
modified for Ms. Dupuis
The
purpose of a “Reference List” is to allow other researchers (& your
teacher) to follow your tracks.
It is
important to be clear and consistent
in your listing technique. The following style is called APA.
Here’s
the basic order of each entry in APA
style.
Author. (Date).
Site or Chapter Title. Title or Homepage Title. Place: Company. Page
Numbers.
Notice that you end each “statement” (above) with a period except
after an Internet address.
·
Arrange
your entries in alphabetical order.
·
Start
each entry at the margin and indent
other lines. Don’t number.
·
Put
Titles in italics on the computer or underline if writing by hand.
·
Pay
attention to the details in the examples below: italics, Capital Letters, periods, etc.
·
If
an Ebook is an exact copy of the
print version, you only need to include [Electronic
version] after the article title. But
if you believe the article has been changed in any way (example no page
numbers, as in World Book), you will need to add the date you retrieved the
article and the URL.
