  • do not italicise
• Books (including when using book chapters) and reports titles
  • ​use sentence case

• 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/

• 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

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.

• Attribution of a stock image is determined by its licence. The licence may indicate that no attribution, citation or reference is required, OR it may indicate that all of these elements are needed. The licence requirements apply regardless of whether the image costs money or is free, and to both papers and PowerPoint presentations.
• In most cases, clip art does not require permission to reproduce. A licence which allows unattributed use of clip art images comes with purchase of computer programs, like Microsoft Word.
• Check the copyright status of images from free clip art sites, to identify if a copyright attribution, citation or reference is required.

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.

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)

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
