References Guide
(Scroll down to near the end for the non-author section.)
A Reference page is the most critical of pages in every academic paper. It represents your quality of research, your quality of intellectual effort, your ability to understand the assignment, and your ability to acquire the finest sources who are, in essence, vouching for your theory, your point-of-view, your opinion, and therefore, your argument, thereby providing you with your credibility! Why would anyone consider using junk here? Your Reference page must always be in alphabetical order. Doing so makes it easy for the reader to locate those citations you used in your paper. If you become technical (using technical material) you must be most careful about every portion of your reference. Excellent work means accomplishments, not accusations. Remember that careless paraphrasing means the possibility of being accused of plagiarism where if you have correct citations and the support of wonderful references, you will never be in that shadowy other world of questionable academic writers. Most References fall into four categories. Text, journals, periodicals and newspapers. Though there are many others, these are the most common. See your APA manual for the specific way to present each of these references. Do not ever repeat the same reference in the reference page for an additional citation of the same source used in your paper. In other words, if you use Jones (2009) more than one time within your paper, you will only post that source one time in your reference page. You must make absolutely certain that every citation in your paper is included on your reference page. * Always include the “Reference” heading for the reference page. Center the word References. ( Do not use quotation marks.) Do NOT use the heading “Bibliography” or “Work Cited” , or “Resources” as they have a different process with a different purpose. * Always put your
