One of the most used and required referencing styles is APA (American Psychological Association) 6th referencing style. At Monash it is also the preferred citing and referencing style for the Education Faculty. It is based on two parts that you have to learn and create: a reference list and in-text citations, but there are several little rules to follow, and when you are in a hurry they can be hard to remember.Fortunately, the Library is here to help you and offers a wide range of resources to help students (but also staff!) in producing the perfect reference in APA style.
A wonderful - and authoritative - tool is APA Style Central platform, a learning answer for scholars, that also includes videos and a comprehensive range of tools you can use whether you are just getting started or more experienced. The following are just some of them:
- quick guides to remember APA style rules easily (e.g. use of colons, italics and how to create a reference list)
- quizzes to test your knowledge and understanding
- samples of references and papers essential to check how you are proceeding
- templates to improve your citing and referencing and also to manage easily your references within your writing
- search and browse thousands of journals (where a researcher could submit a finished paper)
