APA referencing

Learning to use APA referencing requires knowing the basic rules and working consistently as you research your assignments.

The following two links are helpful for you:

1. Weltec Learning Commons, APA referencing guide

2. Auckland University's "Quickcite" tool which helps you to format information in the appropriate style

A few tips:

  • Always note the URL and the date you have downloaded if you access material from a website, whether it be organisations or journal articles.
  • Get into the habit of writing your references in APA style. Books and journals are the most common.
