Books. See the APA Manual 6th Edition for correct formatting rules for books, including Books, Edited Books, Editions, etc. Remember, if you use a chapter in an edited book, you must properly cite this references showing both the chapter and its authors, and the book title and editors.
Journal Articles: You can collect these from the DeVry Library databases and Google Scholar. Be aware that references are sometimes listed using ALL CAPS FOR TITLES. Always change these to the proper format in sentence case for APA: Sentence case for article titles.
Websites: See the APA Manual 6th Edition for correct formatting rules for websites. Be sure to include the date for each website. Look at the bottom of the page – if not there, right click on the page to get the date in the area labeled “View Page Info”. If it lists the date as the date and time you accessed the page, use that date.
Citing sources: See Table 6.1 Basic citation Styles, Page 177 in the APA Manual 6th Edition for examples on citing all types of references. Every idea that came from any reference must be cited.
If you need more help, I am available, but do not wait until the last minute! I enjoy helping students master APA formatting, an essential skill to attaining a good grade in this course and the Capstone course where you will write a major paper in APA format.
