APA Style_6th Edition

APA is the abbreviation of American Psychological Association. This association organizes the roles of how to cite writing. After I read the APA style_6th edition, I summarize it into these:

1.    CITE FROM BOOKS, CHAPTERS IN BOOKS, REPORTS, ETC.

Example   :

§  Alexie, S. (1992). The business of fancydancing: Stories and poems. Brooklyn, NY: Hang Loose Press.

Anonymous Author

Example   :

Dorland’s illustrated medical dictionary (31st ed.). (2007). Philadelphia, PA: Saunders.

3.     CITE FROM ONLINE JOURNALS, MAGAZINES, NEWSPAPERS

Example   :

§  Koo, D. J., Chitwoode, D. D., & Sanchez, J. (2008). Violent victimization and the routine activities/lifestyle of active drug users. Journal of Drug Issues, 38, 1105-1137. Retrieved from http://www2. criminology.fsu.edu/~jdi/

§  Kenney, G. M., Cook, A., & Pelletier, J. (2009). Prospects for reducing uninsured rates among children: How much can premium assistance programs help? Retrieved from Urban Institute website: http://www.urban.org/url.cfm?ID=411823
