PART 1: Frequently Asked Questions about APA style and related issues
These FAQs are arranged in sections by theme, and alphabetically by keywords in each section. Many of the answers contain cross references to other
sections of the Guide, especially to the tables of examples for citation and referencing of various source types. Some questions are not strictly “APA” but
relate to the conventions used at Tabor Adelaide, which may not be clearly specified by APA. For depth and detail about APA Referencing, refer to:

Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.). (2019).
American Psychological Association.

   A. Format, Style and General Questions
 What is APA?                        APA stands for the American Psychological Association, whose publication manual is the standard for writing and
                                     referencing style in the social sciences in many universities across the world.
 What changes are there to APA       Very few changes are necessary, except for:
 style for the Australian context?       • Australian spelling in all but quotations from American text or titles
                                         • For Australian spelling and contemporary usage you may also consult: The Macquarie Dictionary (2017). Macquarie
                                              Dictionary Publishers; and for editing conventions: Style manual for authors, editors and printers (2002) (6th ed., rev. by
                                              Snooks & Co.) John Wiley & Sons.
 What is the purpose of an           Appendices are for relevant supplementary materials that would be distracting or inappropriate for inclusion in the body of the
 Appendix (or plural,                text, such as a sample of work from a child, a table or other data used for analysis, or essential background information.
 Appendices)?                        Appendices are usually brief. If more than one, they should be labelled Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. Appendices are attached
                                     AFTER the Reference List, and any references used should be cited and included in the same Reference List as the main paper.
                                     Appendices do not need to be double spaced.
 Can I use acronyms in place of      The full name of the organization should be used the first time it is mentioned in-text and in the Reference List. The acronym may
 full names of organizations?        be used in subsequent citations. For example: The Australian Curriculum: English (TACE)(Australian Curriculum, Assessment and
                                     Reporting Authority, n.d.), may subsequently be cited as (ACARA, n.d.). Usually the acronym is inserted in brackets after the first
                                     mention, if it is to be used in subsequent discussion, as with TACE in this example.

                                                                                                                                                                            3
What are the best sources to      This will vary according to the task, so be guided by your lecturer. As a rule, journal articles (from professional journals) and
use for my assignments?           textbooks are most highly valued. These may be either print or electronic versions. The wide range of sources represented in this
                                  guide may be used for different purposes, most often with a core of relevant books and journal articles. “Popular” texts, websites
                                  and personal communication are more often illustrative of points that are supported by more solid research, rather than being
                                  regarded as authoritative sources on their own.
What is a citation?               See in-text referencing.
When should I use or not use an   The normal mode of assignment submission is via Tabor Online (Moodle). Please ensure documents are compatible with Microsoft
assignment cover sheet?           Word 2007. For online submissions, you are not required to use a cover sheet but you are advised to insert your name and
                                  assignment title (brief) in a header or at the beginning of the document. In some circumstances where electronic submission is not
                                  possible, your lecturer and/or faculty administrator will advise. For such assignments, attach a completed Assignment Cover Sheet.
                                  These can be found in Student Resources> Forms and Documents. More information regarding assignment submissions can be
                                  found on unit outlines.
What font and spacing should      Font and size not specified, but simple clear font, size 12, would normally be used for assignments. Double spacing is required for
be used for assignments?          normal text but may be altered for tables or other specialised formats. Your REFERENCE LIST should be double spaced, though
                                  otherwise set out as in this guide, with the first line at the margin, and second and subsequent lines of each entry indented by
                                  approximately one centimeter. This can be done automatically using Word paragraph settings >indentation>special>hanging.
Can or should I use footnotes?    Footnotes are rarely necessary in undergraduate writing where the information could just as well be included in the main text or
                                  inserted in an Appendix. On rare occasions, a footnote may be used to “supplement or amplify substantive information in the
                                  text… [and ] should convey just one idea” (Publication Manual of the APA, p. 38).
How many references do I have     This will vary with the subject and type of assignment. As a rule, not less than five substantial, relevant texts per 1000 words should
to use?                           be used. Check with your lecturer for specific requirements.
What is in-text referencing and   In-text referencing (or citation) is the acknowledgement of a source in the body of a text, such as your assignment. Format may
how is it formatted?              vary but will always include parentheses with the date (if the author is mentioned in the preceding sentence) or author and date of
                                  publication. Include a page number for specific information, but not for a more general statement based on the author’s work.
                                  Examples: According to Milne (2005), the human brain is an amazing piece of circuitry (p.1). OR An understanding of the brain’s
                                  circuitry can help teachers to design effective teaching (Milne, 2005). The full work must be cited in the Reference list.
Are paragraphs indented?          Yes. Indent paragraphs by one tab space, and do not leave more than the standard double spacing between paragraphs.
Does a paraphrase (in my own      Yes. A paraphrase is your own re-wording, or explaining, of the ideas of one or more authors. It is important to acknowledge the
words) need to be referenced?     source of the ideas. There are different ways of doing this. See “What is in-text referencing?”
What is plagiarism?               Plagiarism is the use of other people’s work without appropriate acknowledgement. This Referencing Guide explains how to
                                  acknowledge the sources used in your writing using “APA style”. Plagiarism is a serious offence and can have serious consequences
                                  (see current Tabor Adelaide Student Handbook under “Academic Misconduct”).

                                                                                                                                                                            4
How much direct quotation is      At Tabor, the general rule is that up to 10% of an assignment may consist of direct quotations. Quotes are usually included in the
appropriate in an assignment?     total word count but consult your lecturer if in doubt.
How should quotations be          Quotations of less than 40 words should be integrated into the paragraph, enclosed by double quotation marks, without italics, and
formatted?                        followed by an in-text citation in brackets. The full stop is placed after the closing bracket. Quotations of 40 words or more should
                                  be formatted as a “block” (next item).
What is a “block quote”?          Any quotation of 40 words or more should be formatted as a “block”: no quotation marks; single spaced; whole block indented
                                  (left aligned); same size font as the body of the text; no italics. Citation as for other quotations.
How should a Reference List be    Do NOT use dot points.

                                  Indent second and subsequent lines (hanging indent).
                                  List entries alphabetically by the first letter of the reference (usually the author’s surname, but sometimes a title if author is
                                  unknown).
                                  All other details for formatting References can be found in Section 2.
What range (relative to the       Normally, 10% less or 10% over the given word count is acceptable. If in doubt, ask the subject lecturer.
word count) is acceptable?
What is included/not included     Reference list, appendices, words on maps, graphs or inserted tables are NOT included in the word count. Normally an automatic
in the word count?                count from the first word of the first paragraph, to the last word of the final paragraph would be taken as sufficiently accurate.

   B.   Tricky References and Terminology
 What needs to be referenced?      All sources of quotations and information that you have used in your writing need to be acknowledged formally by referencing.
                                   This includes paraphrased information, where you have reworded the idea from a source, so it is not directly quoted, but the
                                   concept has been adopted from the source.
 What does not need to be          Ideas of your own, or ideas that are considered common knowledge in the field of study do not need to be referenced. Bible
 referenced?                       quotations are not included in the Reference List but are acknowledged in an “in-text citation” (see Section 2).
 What do you do with references    Sources cited in Appendices are referenced in the same way as the body of the text, using the same list of references.
 for Appendices?                   References to the Appendices can be made in the body of the text, for example: (see Appendix) or (see Appendix B).
 How do you cite an audio of a     Refer to Section 2, under Lecture Notes, Tabor texts and other Personal Sources, page 20

How do you cite the Bible or       Example:
other classic works?               Reference list entries are not required when you cite ancient Greek and Roman works or classical religious works. However, in the
                                   first text citation, indicate the version of the classic work you used.
                                   Example of a general reference to the Bible:
                                   The researchers consulted the Bible (King James Version) to provide items for the development of their religious values
                                   assessment.
                                   Example of a direct quote:
                                   The Bible enumerates these virtues: “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Cor.
                                   13:1 New International Version).
                                   OR
                                   The Qur’an 5:3 specifies some dietary restrictions, such as forbidding Muslims to eat "the flesh of swine."

                                   for details.) Page numbers are not needed where your paraphrase draws upon multiple parts of a source text or describes the gist

      Teachers need to understand the theory behind their subject area in order to interpret curriculum documents appropriately. For

example, an understanding of the Four Resources Model, developed by Luke and Freebody (1999), can help a teacher to interpret the

Australian Curriculum: English (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, n.d.) which is based on a similar but different

structure of Language, Literature and Literacy. Furthermore, familiarity with the developmental phases commonly experienced by

children learning to read and write will provide greater depth and suitably targeted teaching approaches for particular groups of children.

As stated by the authors of First Steps, “[First Steps] is only one part of an explicit and cohesive approach to improving literacy learning. It

can be implemented in the company of other programs, and alongside a variety of resources and personal ideas” (Annandale et al., 2003,

pp. 3-4).
