Asa Soho: As an example:"Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline" by Becky A. BaileyFor the parenthetical citation:(Baily, 2002)For the References page:Baily, B. A. (2002). (italics) Easy to love, difficult to discipline (end italics). New York NY: 2000.Online references are great as they are usually up-to-date, but your instructor may not be and as APA has periodic changes, best to check with her or him during your draft stage so that your final product mimics the rules they'll be expecting to see / adhered to.Also, MS-Word and other word processing applications mostly have these tools built in now under the "References" and it'll build your in-text (parenthetical) citations and your references page for you ... worth checking your current version?Good luck and great writing!...Show more
Launa Weingarten: Hi AJ,You use page numbers in your in-text citations only if you use direct quotes or paraphrase something really specific; otherwise, you won't need page numbers, s! o (James, 2009) would be fine.For the list of references, you capitalize only the first word in the title of the article (or the book), but you have to capitalize all the words in the title of the journal.Purdue OWL provides an excellent guide for APA style, in case you can't get a hold of the manual:http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/Hope this helps. Good luck!...Show more
Jasper Mangel: On my final references page at the end, do all references require page numbers? or just those which have taken direct quotes from?
