APA Referencing †How to Cite a Journal Article (Proofread My Paper)

APA Referencing – How to Cite a Journal Article APA Referencing – How to Cite a Journal Article The American Psychological Association (APA) style guide is favored by hundreds of journals, textbook publishers and academic institutions. APA referencing is therefore one of the most widely-used citations formats, especially in the sciences, medicine and education. In this post, we cover the basics of citing a journal article using the APA referencing style. Author-Date Citations The basic format for all in-text citations in APA involves providing the author surname and year of publication for the cited source in parentheses: Development of golf tourism requires significant planning (Priestly, 2006). If the author is already named in the text, you only need to cite the year: According to Priestly (2006), planning golf tourism demands extensive infrastructure. If the article has three or more authors, provide all names in the first citation: A study by LeClerc, Che, Swaddle and Cristol (2005) shows that golf courses are viable nesting sites for bluebirds. After this, you only have to use the first author’s surname and â€Å"et al.†: Nest boxes on golf courses provide an excellent habitat for young bluebirds (LeClerc et al., 2005). Quoting Sources When quoting a source, APA citations should appear after the quoted text and include page numbers: As well as golf courses, golf tourism requires â€Å"hotels and other forms of property development† (Priestly, 2006, p. 170). If the author is named in the text, the year of publication should be given after the name, but the page numbers still appear after the quoted text: Priestly (2006) states that â€Å"essential to plan golf tourism regions carefully in order to make economic and social objectives compatible† (p. 170). Reference List APA requires all cited sources to be added to a reference list at the end of your document. Entries should include all relevant publication details, with sources sorted alphabetically by author surname. For a journal article, the information required includes: Author Name(s) and Initial(s) (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, Volume Number (Issue Number), Pages. The Priestly article cited above, for instance, would appear as: Priestley, G. K. (2006). Planning implications of golf tourism. Tourism and Hospitality Research, 6(3), 170-178. If you’re citing an online version of a journal article, you should also include the relevant DOI or URL in the reference list: LeClerc, J. E., Che, J. P. K., Swaddle, J. P., Cristol, D. A. (2005). Reproductive success and developmental stability of eastern bluebirds on golf courses. Wildlife Society Bulletin (1973-2006), 33(2), 483-493. Retrieved from jstor.org/stable/3785076

Queen Victoria Quotes

Queen Victoria Quotes Queen Victoria, the longest-ruling monarch of Great Britain, ruled during a time of economic and imperial expansion, and gave her name to the Victorian Era. Selected Queen Victoria Quotations We are not amused. (attributed) Please understand that there is no one depressed in this house; we are not interested in the possibilities of defeat; they do not exist. Move Queen Anne? Most certainly not! Why it might some day be suggested that my statue should be moved, which I should much dislike. (about moving a statue of Queen Anne for Victorias Diamond Jubilee) The Queen is most anxious to enlist every one who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of Womans Rights, with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feeling and propriety. The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them. His purity was too great, his aspiration too high for this poor, miserable world! His great soul is now only enjoying that for which it was worthy! When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to which you cant deny is the penalty of marriage. I feel sure that no girl would go to the altar if she knew all. An ugly baby is a very nasty object, and the prettiest is frightful when undressed. I dont dislike babies, though I think very young ones rather disgusting. I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous. Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves. He speaks to Me as if I was a public meeting.
