" (pp. 32-33). If there is no identifiable page number, provide another way for the reader to find the quoted information, e.g. (heading or section name, paragraph, chapter, table or figure number)
  • When you paraphrase or refer to an idea from another work, a page number is not required. However, for longer works (e.g. books), it can be useful to include a page number to assist the reader to locate the relevant part of the work.
  • If there is no date, the abbreviation n.d. may be used e.g. (Walters, n.d.)

Reference list

Reference list layout & formatting

  • Centre the heading, References, at the top of the page
  • No specific font type or size required. Recommendations include Calibri size 11, Arial size 11, Lucida size 10, Times New Roman size 12, Georgia size 11 or Computer Modern size 10 (LaTeX).
  • The entire reference list is double spaced, with no spaces between the references.
  • Include all sources cited in your assessment.
  • A reference list is arranged alphabetically by author last name.
  • If there are two references by the same author, list in order of publication date with the older one first. "No date" (n.d.) references should always precede references with "some date." For example:
    • Bloggs, J.S. (n.d.)...
    • Bloggs, J.S. (2016)...
    • Bloggs, J.S. (2018a)
    • Bloggs, J.S. (2018a, September)...
    • Bloggs, J.S. (in press)...
  • Each reference appears on a new line.
  • Each item in the reference list is required to have a hanging indent.
Zarate, K., Maggin, D. M., & Passmore, A. (2019). Meta‐analysis of mindfulness training on teacher well‐being. Psychology in the Schools, 56(10), 1700–1715. https://doi.org/10.1002/pits.22308
  • References should not be numbered.
  • If a reference has no author, it is cited by title, and included in the alphabetical list using the first significant word of the title.
  • If you have more than one item with the same author, list the items chronologically, starting with the earliest publication.
  • If there is no date, the abbreviation (n.d.) may be used.
  • Use the full journal name, not the abbreviated name.
  • URLs or DOIs can either be live links (blue and underlined) or as normal black text with no underline. If the work containing the reference list is to be made available online, use the live link format. 
  • Alphabetise numerals as though they are spelled out. For example, alphabetise 8 as though it were "eight". The reference will appear with the other references beginning with "E". 
  • In APA 7th, you can use a link shortener (like tinyurl or bitly) to create a friendly URL for your reference list. You need to make sure the link you are shortening is stable - that is, you can still click on the link several days later and it will still take you to that article.

Multiple works with same author(s) and same year

  • Arrange works with the same author(s) and same year alphabetically by the first significant word in the title (disregarding the words "A", "An", and "The") in the reference list. This then determines which references uses a, b, c etc.
  • Add the relevant letter after the year (which is also used for corresponding in-text references). The first reference listed in the reference list uses "a", second uses "b" etc.

Yang, Q., & Harris, J. G. (2010b). A higher-order spectro-temporal integration model for predicting signal audibility [Paper presentation]. International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, Dallas, TX. 
(Yang & Harris, 2010a)
(Yang & Harris, 2010b)
  • If the date is n.d. (for no date), include a dash then the relevant letter at the end eg. n.d.-a. It will appear before any specified years.
  • If the date is "in press", include a dash then the relevant letter at the end eg. in press-a. It will appear after any specified years.
  • If a month and day are included, references with just a year are first, followed by specified dates in chronological order. For example:-
(Taylor, 2019a)
(Taylor, 2019b, May 14)
(Taylor, 2019c, August 3)
  • This applies to all reference types with the same author(s) and year.

Titles

  • Article or book chapter titles
    • use sentence case (the first word uses a capital letter with each subsequent word in lower case). The exceptions are for names eg. countries and after a colon : eg. Writing prose in Australia: Words of wisdom from the best
    • do not use single or double quotation marks.
    • do not italicise
  • Books (including when using book chapters) and reports titles
    • use sentence case  
    • italicise the title 
  • Journal, magazine and newspaper titles
    • should be provided in full (not abbreviated) and use title case (i.e. capitalise all major words), rather than sentence case. eg. Psychological Review.
    • they should be italicised.
  • Website titles should be italicised.  
  • No title
    • add a description of the reference used, including the type of reference in square brackets. For example, [Image of a child playing in outdoor playground]. 
  • For social media posts or comments without a title, add up to the first 20 words used in the post or comment and italicise it. Also include a description of the work in square brackets. For example, On Monday and Tuesday (16-17 December) this week, we are replacing computers in the PACE Health Sciences Library [Infographic].

Order of works with no author

  • Use the title in place of the author
  • List alphabetically
  • Use the first significant word of the title. Ignore "A", "And" and "The".

For example, 

The best 10 years of Radio magazine. (2003). Radio9(9), 79.
The only 10 recipes you'll ever need. (1998). Good Housekeeping227(3).

Publisher details

  • List multiple publisher names in the order in which they appear, separated by semicolons.
  • If the book is published by an imprint or division, use the imprint or division as the publisher (e.g. Churchill Livingstone, which is an imprint of Elsevier).
  • For publisher names, words like "Co.", "Publishers" or "Inc." should not be included. For example, use Springer, not Springer Publishers.
  • Places of publication are not included.
  • Do not include publisher name if it is the same as the author.

Publication date

  • Use n.d. if there is no date available
  • Use in press when the work is accepted for publication but has not been published
  • When the work has been published online prior to publication, include the year of when it was added online.
  • When a month, date or season is used, use (Year, Month Date) or (Year, Season). For example, (2019, November 8) or (2019, Autumn/Winter).
  • If a "Last Updated" date in used, include this as the publication date. This is only when the information has been clearly changed, not just reviewed.
  • For online works that are meant to be changed regularly eg. Facebook, dictionary entry, use Retrieved Month, Date, Year, from URL. For example, Retrieved November 8, 2019, from https://www.facebook.com/southerncrossuniversity/

Volume, issue and page numbers

  • If there are no volume or issue numbers, omit these details. You can only include the information that has been provided.
  • Use the full page range and full page numbers eg. pp. 121 - 138
  • For an online publication that uses article numbers or similar, include Article then the article number in the Page Number place. For example, Article e09645731
  • Page numbers are included when you are referring to a section of a greater work eg. book chapter, journal article.

Figures (e.g.images)

Format for including figures in your text

APA considers all types of visual items (e.g. graphs, charts, photographs, drawings, infographics, maps and clip art), other than tables, as figures. Figures may be sourced from journal articles, books, reports, webpages, or websites.

  • Each figure needs to be numbered in the order in which they appear in the document.
  • If a figure is being reproduced for inclusion in a work which is being published, you must seek permission from the copyright holder. This permission must also be included in the note beneath the figure.
  • Include the full reference in the reference list.

Below is the format for displaying and acknowledging figures in the body of your work:

  • Number: written as Figure X in bold above the figure (e.g. Figure 1)
  • Title: one double-spaced line below the figure number, capitalised in italics (e.g. Storyboarding)
  • Note: underneath the figure; includes description (if required) and copyright attribution: reprinted or adapted status (if required), source details, copyright status, and permission statement (if required); italicised (e.g. Note. Description.of ...)

For your own figures (e.g. an image, such as a photograph, or a table/graph displaying your own data), only include a figure number and title above the figure. No citation, copyright attribution or reference list entry is required.

If you feel it needs to be made clear it is your own work, add "Own Work" on or under the image to avoid confusion.

Indigenous Knowledge

Acknowledging Traditional Knowledge

The following information has come from the APA manual (2019, pp.260-261).

Traditional Knowledge is referenced based on how the information was recorded.

  • If the information is in a recorded format, follow the examples for how to cite that particular source (e.g. journal article, book, website, etc.). See examples below about how to acknowledge the Nation Group, when known, in your text.
  • If the information is in an unrecorded format, follow the examples for Personal Communication, with the addition of the Nation Group, if known. See examples below.
  • If the author, or person sharing the information is an Elder, they should be referred to as Aunty or Uncle in your narrative.
  • The words, Elder, Aunty, and Uncle should not be abbreviated.

Stop and think

  • Is the information accurate and appropriate?
  • Is the information something you are allowed to share?
  • Is the Nation Group acknowledged?
    • If so, you can also acknowledge them in your text.
    • If not, you can acknowledge in your text that this is Indigenous Knowledge with unknown origin.

Recorded sources

If the information being referenced has been recorded, it should be referenced according to the APA style for that source (e.g. book, article).

However, you can choose to acknowledge the author as an Elder, where applicable, and Nation Group (if known) further in your text.

If the author's name includes Elder, Aunty, or Uncle in the byline of the publication, treat this as an inseparable multipart name and preserve their full name in the reference list.

Example 1
In-text citation (narrative)
Bundjalung Elder, Uncle Charles Moran, highlights the importance of stillness and listening to the lessons from Country (Moran & Moran, 2004. p. 56).
Reference list 
Moran, C.H. & Moran, G. 2004, Talk softly, listen well: Profile of a Bundjalung elder, Charles Moran, Southern Cross University Press.
 
Example 2 (published interview)

Follow the format for the reference type in which the interview was published. When the person being interviewed doesn't appear in the author element in the Reference, integrate their Nation Group, title if applicable, and full name into the narrative of the sentence.

In-text citation (narrative)
Gumbaynggirr Elder, Aunty Bea Ballangarry, explains how the removal of judgement found in yarning circles provides opportunities for healing (NSW Mental Health Commission, 2016, January 20).

Non recorded sources (personal communication or interview)

If the information you are citing has not been recorded in a way that it can be recovered by a reader it should be cited as personal communication. This includes email, text message, online chat, direct message, personal interview, telephone conversation, live speech, unrecorded classroom lecture, memo, or letter, etc. 

  • Start with the Nation Group, if known
  • Include the title if applicable (E.g. Elder, then Aunty or Uncle)
  • Include the first name and surname (no abbreviations) of the communicator, and as exact a date as possible, in the citation
  • Do not use for quotes, or information from participants interviewed as part of personal original research
  • Do not include in the Reference list

When do I reference software or apps?

  • Software or apps that are common (to your field or audience) do not need to have in-text citations and reference list entries. Just include the full software or app name and the version in brackets (if relevant). For example, Covidence (Version 2).
  • If they have limited access or distribution, the in-text citation and reference list entries are required. Please see the examples below.
  • If you have quoted or paraphrased from software or an app, they also need to use an in-text citation and include a reference list entry.
  • If you used a website to create something like a survey, include the website name and address in text. For example - We used SurveyMonkey (https://www.surveymonkey.com) to create our survey. An in-text citation and including a reference list entry isn't required.

Websites, webpages

Webpages or websites

Website

When referring to a website in general (ie. the homepage or default webpage that loads when you visit a web address that only contains a domain name), include the name of the website in the text and provide the URL in parentheses. No in-text citation or reference list entry is necessary.

For example

This survey was created using Survey Monkey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/).

Webpage

Only use webpage if no other reference type fits, and the work has no parent or over-reaching publication other than the website itself.

If you cite multiple webpages from a website, create a reference for each. 

Elements of the reference
Group author or Individual author(s) - last name, initial(s). (Date - in the format: Year OR Year, Month OR Year, Month, Day). Title of page - italicised. Website name. (Retrieved Month Day, Year, from - if retrieval date required) URL

[Note: omit the website name if the author and website name are the same.]

  • Do not use the copyright date on the webpage as the publication date for specific content/documents on that site.
  • Only use the copyright date if you can be sure that it applies to the content you are citing.
  • If multiple dates are provided, use the most recent date on which the content was changed (or updated/revised). A review date should not be used, as this implies that the information was not changed. 
  • If no separate date of publication is indicated for the work on a webpage, treat the work as having no date.
