APA for Academic Writing (Fall 2019) - Mount Royal University
1 APA for Academic Writing (2017-2018) The Purpose of Referencing/Documentation A. to identify (cite) other people s ideas and information used within your essay or term paper, and B. to indicate the sources of these citations in the References list at the end of your paper. APA Format The APA format is only one of many methods of documentation. Details about the format are found in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) (at MRU Bookstore and MRU Library) the APA Style Guide for Electronic References (6th ed.) (referred to in this handout as Electronic Guide) the APA website at (including Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ]) and the APA Style Blog NOTE: The APA manual is not designed specifically for students. These guidelines have been adapted by MRU to fit the needs of MRU students. Please consult with your professors if you have any questions about referencing guidelines for specific courses.
After the first citation, you can omit the year in subsequent sentences as long as it is clear you are referring to the same source (e.g., by repeating the author name or using cues like “the researchers” or “their study”). Remember that this only works within a paragraph.
