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)
