14. Attribute Sources
 |
Attributing or "citing" your sources of information is essential to the integrity of scholarly and professional communication. In any science, sources must be verifiable. To facilitate access to supporting information by professors and others interested in our work, we use a common protocol, known as a "style sheet." The style recommended for business research at Averett University is from the American Psychological Association. It's called "APA Style" for short. |
|
Use these print sources to create your "in text" citations and list of "References:"
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (BF 76.7 .P83 2001)
Concise rules of APA style. (BF 76.7 .C66 2005)
The business librarian has prepared Guidelines for APA Style (PDF). We recommend that you print and review this guide before completing Worksheet #5. |
Quotations
|
Only limited passages should be quoted directly. Use careful paraphrasing to express ideas gathered from the work of others. This is a good opportunity to compare and contrast your sources. |
Cite all quotes and paraphrased ideas! |
To avoid plagiarism, cite sources for all ideas you gather from the work of others, regardless of whether you quote, paraphrase, or contrast views of various authors. |
Cite Statistical Sources |
To facilitate replication of your research, make it easy for your readers to access the statistical tables and data sets you used. Specify your methodology if you employed statistical analysis. |
