APA Citing and referencing In-Person

This session will cover how to cite and reference using the APA style, used in psychology. There are separate sessions on the IEEE and Harvard styles.

Learn how to cite and reference using the APA style. APA is an author-date referencing style where the citations use names and publication years, e.g. (Smith, 2021). Correct citing and referencing is a requirement of university assignments. It makes your work more credible and can help you avoid accidental plagiarism. This session is aimed at those who are new to using APA citing and referencing, or those who want a refresher. It gives an overview of the what, why, when and how of citing and referencing, along with hints and tips to make citing and referencing easier. Examples in this session will use APA 7th edition.
