    Study Notes

    ### Types of Citation Styles

    • APA style is a commonly used referencing format.
    • There are other styles, such as Chicago, MLA, and IEEE.

    DOI

    • DOI (Digital Object Identifier) provides a unique and consistent web address (URL) for articles or documents.
    • URLs are subject to change, while DOIs are not.

    In-text Citation for Multiple Authors

    • For two authors, include both last names and the year of publication.
    • For three or more authors, use the first author's last name followed by "et al." and the year of publication.

    Referencing Dictionary and Encyclopedia Entries

    • Include the author's last name, first initial, followed by the publication year.
    • The title of the entry goes next, followed by "In Editor's First Initial.Second Initial if Given.Last Name (Ed.)," then the name of the encyclopedia or dictionary (edition if given and is not first edition).
    • Include the website or print publication details.

    Referencing Books and eBooks

    • Both printed books and eBooks require the author's last name, followed by the first initial(s), the year of publication, the title of the book, and the publisher.
    • For printed books, the publisher's location may be omitted.

    Referencing Websites

    • For websites with an author, include the author's last name, followed by the first initial(s) and the year of publication.
    • For websites with a group author, use the group author's name as the author.
    • Include the title of the entry, the date of retrieval, and the URL.

    Referencing Print Sources

    • Include the author's last name, first initial(s), the year of publication, the title of the entry, and the publisher.
    • For print sources without a DOI, include the publication details of the journal, encyclopedia, or book.

    Referencing Open Textbooks

    • List the authors as in any other book format.
    • Include the publisher and URL.

    Referencing Content with No Author

    • Start with the title of the work in place of the author's name.
    • Include the date of publication and other relevant citation details.

    Anonymous Authors

    • Use "Anonymous" as the author's name only if the work specifically states "Anonymous" as the author.

    Citing Parts of a Larger Work

    • Use a shortened title of the part in quotation marks in the in-text citation.
    • This applies to articles, chapters, stories, etc., within a larger work.

    "et al."

    • "et al." stands for "et alia," which means "and others."
    • It is used to shorten the reference to a work with three or more authors.
