Psychology: APA Style (Harvard) Referencing ‘made easy’ (All Levels) Five page booklet explaining how to do basic APA referencing for psychology and an ‘over to you’ referencing exercise Useful for A-Level Psychology as referencing correctly is an important transferable skill What is referencing? • When you write an academic essay, it is important to use APA style references both in-text and alphabetically in your reference section at the end. • APA referencing is used by psychology (other disciplines may use different styles) Why refencing is important? • Most important, referencing guards against plagiarism (presenting other people’s thoughts and ideas as your own) • Referencing allows the reader/marker to know the source of you information • Important, only reference academic sources (Wikipedia is best avoided, and websites should have: .ac or .org in their address) Feedback is always apppreciated Copyrighted, purchase is only for use and photocopying within your own educational establishment. No copying for resale. Thanks Andy Mac, teacher/lecturer and publisher UK
