and shows many similarities, but is unique in several key points. This paper
discusses the APA in detail paragraph. A major issue in education and the education
of students is the ability to address plagiarism, referencing correctly with the APA
6th is one way of trying to overcome the problem (Bretag, 2013; Manar & Shameem,
2014).
Discussion
APA uses parenthetical (or in-text) citations within sentences, but rather than
indicating the author's name and page number, APA includes author's name and date
of publication. The page number, represented with a p. or a pp., is only added to the
citation when using a direct quote (not a summary or paraphrase). If the author's
name is mentioned in the sentence, then place the date of publication in parentheses
directly after the name. If the name is not mentioned include the author's name and
date in parentheses at the end of the source material. And, if you use a direct quote,
place the page number after the publication date within the parentheses.
Examples
Terrence (2007) has presented poignant examples from 150 interviews. However, it

Note the first example paraphrases an author that is named in the sentence,
the second example paraphrases authors that are not named in the sentence, and the
third example provides a direct quote (thus the inclusion of the page numbers) but
also does not identify the authors within the sentence. If the authors were identified
within the sentence in the third example, the authors' names would be followed by
the year of publication and only the page numbers would be in the parentheses at the
Format
Finally, the bibliographic page in APA style differs from MLA, what APA
calls the Reference page. You will notice a few immediate differences from the MLA
Works Cited format. With APA you include the initial of the author's first name
rather than the complete name, the publication date immediately follows the author's
name in parentheses, and titles of articles are not surrounded with quotation marks.
The lists are still alphabetized by author's last name (or title in the absence of an
author) and the first line is flush left while subsequent lines in the same entry are
indented in (approximately 5 spaces or one tab). A good resource to help you with
reference list rather than a bibliography with your paper (APA, Bibliography Versus

paper whereas a bibliography may include resources that were consulted but not
Summary
The School of Education, University of Notre Dame Australia, uses the APA
6th referencing style for all written documents. In addition to in text referencing and
