GENERAL FORMAT FORMAT

General

Double space all lines, including title page and references page.

Do not include any caps (except for the header), bolds (except for section heads), or underlines.

Using WORD 2007 & 2010 to Automatically Format Your Paper

You can let Microsoft WORD 2007 or 2010 do the work for you by going to “Home” on the top tool

bar. Then go to “Paragraph” on the bottom tool bar (third from left) and click on the arrow to reveal

the pull down box entitled “Paragraph.” Under “INDENTATION” set “Indent Left” at 0; set

“Indent Right” at 0 and set “Special” at “first line” and “by” at .5. Under “SPACING,” set “Before”

at 0; set “After” at “0”; and set “Line Spacing” at Double. Also remember, you do not double,

double space between paragraphs. This will assure that the body of your paper will be double spaced

with the first line indented by .5 inches.

In developing your Reference page, you will repeat the steps above with one exception. The

“Special” section will be set at “handing indent” “by” .5. This will assure that your first line is flush

and your second line is indented by .5 inches.

Please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pbUoNa5tyY to review a video on how to format

research, term papers and essays with APA Sixth Edition Publication Manual.

Page Numbers

Page numbers should be flush right and should be on all pages, including the title and reference

pages.

Header

The header must be on all pages, including the title page and Reference List.

The header is positioned at the top of the page and consists of an abbreviated title and the

page number.

The page number of the header should be flush right.

The abbreviated title cannot exceed 50 characters, including punctuation and spacing, should be in

all capital letters and should be flush left at the top of the page. NOTE: The Title Page will include

the words “Running head:” prior to the abbreviated title. Page 2 and beyond will drop the words

“Running head:”.

Using most word processors, the header and page number can be inserted into a header, which then

automatically appears on all pages.

Title Page

All text on the title page, and throughout your paper, should be double-spaced.

Header with abbreviated title and page number (See Header format above). NOTE: The

Title Page will include the words “Running head:” prior to the abbreviated title. Page 2 and beyond

abbreviations or words that serve no purpose. Your title may take up to one or two lines.

o Writer

o Instructor

o Date

Active Voice

As a general rule, use the active voice rather than the passive voice. For example, use “We predicted

that …” rather than “It was predicted that …”.

Abstract

NOTE: This class does not require an Abstract. However, if the student elects to use an Abstract, it

must be on a separate page and will not count toward the minimal number of pages required for the

assignment.

Introduction to Business 100

March 30, 2010

Page 7: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 7

GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of Using APA Guidelines - In order to prepare you for the world of business, Strayer

University is putting a heavy emphasis on writing. This is consistent with the demands of Corporate

America. Businesses are constantly quoting communication as one of the skills most lacking in college

graduates. Our major goal at Strayer University is to prepare you to successfully compete in the

Corporate World.

Definition of a Direct Quote - A direct quote is using the exact words from a source. Remember, if

you use three (3) or more consecutive words directly from a source, it is considered a direct quote, and

must be cited as a direct quote. Failure to include a direct quote in quotation marks is plagiarism; a

serious violation of Strayer’s academic policy and will result in an automatic “0” for the entire paper.

Four Basic Rules of Using a Direct Quote - There are four basic rules to using direct quotes. They

are:

Number 1 – You cannot begin a sentence with a quote.

Number 2 – You cannot begin a paragraph with a quote.

Number 3 – You cannot end a paragraph with a quote. Number 4 – You cannot have back to back quotes.

These rules are put in place to discourage quoting and to force the writer to paraphrase and use him/her

own analysis and words. Remember, three (3) or more consecutive words directly from a source, is a

direct quote.

Direct Quote Must Be a Part of the Sentence - A quotation, even if it is a complete sentence must be

a part of the writer’s sentence. The following quote is introduced by the writer and part of the sentence:

To become successful is not an easy task. According to Sarah Lake (2010), staff writer for

CNNMoney, “[a] key factor to success in today's market place is finding subtle differences to give a

business the marketing edge” (para 2). Therefore, it is important that one always puts their best feet

forward.

To keep the first work capital, you can use a colon to introduce the quote, e.g.,

To become successful is not an easy task. According to Sarah Lake (2010), staff writer for

CNNMoney: “A key factor to success in today's market place is finding subtle differences to give a

business the marketing edge” (para 2). Therefore, it is important that one always puts their best feet

forward.

Page 8: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 8

Remember, the four basic rules of using a direct quote as stated above.

Definition of a Paraphrase - Paraphrasing is interpreting ideas expressed by an author by restating

passage in your own words but keeping the passage at approximately the same length. NOTE: A

paraphrase must be cited in the body of your paper, but does not require a page or paragraph number.

The four basic rules of using a direct quote do not apply to a paraphrase.

Definition of a Summarization - Summarizing is putting the author’s ideas into your own words, but

shortening the length of the passage. It, too, must be cited in the body of your paper, but does not require

a page or paragraph number. The four basic rules of using a direct quote do not apply to a

summarization.

Definition of an In-text Citation - The in-text citation provides the information necessary for a reader to

locate and retrieve any source from the Reference Page. Therefore, you cannot have an in-text citation

without a corresponding Reference, unless it is a Personal Communication. Please visit pages 9 – 16 and/or

the following YouTube site for helpful hints on setting up in-text citations:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HsYUA-helk&feature=related

Definition of a Reference - The References page provides the information necessary for a reader to locate

and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Therefore, only sources cited in the body of the

paper should appear on the References page. Consequently, you cannot have a Reference without a

corresponding In-text Citation. Please visit page 18 -24 and/or the following YouTube video for additional

guidance on the proper manner for formatting your Reference page:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmcaYdZDa-U&feature=related

Credible Sources - Always use credible sources. Please use sources of repute when citing material,

for example, material published in peer-reviewed journals. According to Chelsea Lee, Manuscript

Editor/Journals American Psychological Association (personal communication, November 18, 2009),

APA does not prohibit any source; however, sources such as BLOGs should be checked carefully to

assure the source is credible. Since Wikipedia changes so often and anyone can make additions and

changes, please review and cite the credible sources from their Reference List rather than Wikipedia,

itself.

Unacceptable Sources - The purpose of writing assignment exercises is to test and hone your use of

proper grammar, as well as, you analytical skills. Therefore, the instructor will also not accept citations

from websites with pre-written papers and analyses. Such unacceptable sources include, but are not

limited to: Answers.com; Essaydepot.com; studentoffortune.com; oppapers.com, allfreeassays.com,

papercamp.com, QuickMBA.com, Answerbag.com, Marketingteacher.com, etc. Please write your own

paper and do your own analysis! Students found using these pre-written papers and answers site will

receive an automatic “0” on the total assignment.

Source Publication - There should be rare cases whereby an article does not have a source

publication, e.g., a book, magazine, webpage, etc. The source publication should come after the title in

the reference and should be in italics, e.g.,

Executive Coaching Can Bring You BIG! Results. (2006 - 2011). Jean Paul Cortes. Retrieved from

http://www.what-is-coaching.com/executive-coaching.html

Page 9: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 9

In this example, Jean Paul Cortes is the publisher. In most cases, the publisher may be found at the

bottom of the page as part of the copyright, e.g., © Copyright 2006-2011 by Jean Paul Cortes All Rights

Reserved Worldwide. If there is no copyright, use the web address e.g., What-is-coaching.com.

Page 10: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 10

IN-TEXT CITATION

DIRECT QUOTATIONS Using exact words from a source. Remember, if you use three (3) or more consecutive words directly

from a source, it is considered a direct quote, and must be cited as a direct quote.

General

Use quotation marks “ ”. Failure to put a direct quote in quotation marks is plagiarism.

Include page # or paragraph #.

The in the in-text citation goes inside of the punctuation mark, unless it is a Block Quote,

e.g.

Florida is not the only state that has sunshine. It has been demonstrated that the

sun always shines in Georgia (Carter, 2006, p. 10). This makes Georgia one of the best

places to live in America

If the quotation appears in mid-sentence, end the passage with quotation marks, cite the

source in parenthesis immediately after the quotation marks, and continue the sentence,

e.g.

Florida is not the only state that has sunshine. It has been demonstrated that “the

sun always shines in Georgia” (Carter, 2006, p. 10) when it is not raining. This makes

Georgia one of the best places to live in America

If there is no date in a source, use the copyright date, or the latest update. If neither

can be found, use “n.d.”.

When citing a paper more than once in the same paragraph, omit the date after the first

citation.

When quoting two or more authors, the last author should be separated by an ampersand

(&), e.g., (Carter & Mathews, 2006). However, when referencing these authors in the

text, the last author will be separated by the word “and”, e.g.,

Florida is not the only state that has sunshine. According to John Carter and

Seaborn Mathews (2006), authors of the book, The Sun of Georgia, “the sun never sets on

Georgia” (p. 10). This makes Georgia one of the best places to live in America.

You cannot have an in-text citation without a corresponding Reference, unless it is a

Personal Communication.

Never begin or end a paragraph with a quote. It is better to paraphrase.

Page 11: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 11

A quotation, even if it is a complete sentence must be a part of the writer’s sentence. A transition or an authoring tag can integrate the quote into the writer’s sentence, or the quotation can be

introduced with a colon, e.g.,

In fact, “[a] significant number of business professionals [who failed to graduate

from college the first time] are returning to college to earn advanced degrees in order to

increase their earning power and potential for advancement” (Smith, 2002, p. 101)

or

As outline by John H. Carter (2010), business professor at Strayer University,

“[t]he purpose of this class is to introduce you to the real world of business” (para. 5).

When your parenthetical citation includes two or more works, order them the same way

they appear in the Reference List, separated by a semi-colon, e.g., (Carter, 2002; Jones,

1983).

If you have two sources by the same author in the same year, use lower-case letters (a, b,

c) with the year to order the entries in the Reference List e.g.,

Carter, J. (2010a). The right way. Carter & Carter, LLC. Retrieved from

http://www.cartercarterllc.com.

Carter, J. (2010b). On the right road. Carter & Carter, LLC. Retrieved from

http://www.cartercarterllc.com.

Use the lower-case letters with the year in the in-text citation, e.g., (Carter, 2010a).

When a work has no author, use the first two or three words of the work's title as your

text reference, capitalizing each word. Place the title in quotation marks if it refers to an

article, chapter of a book, or Web page. Italicize the title if it refers to a book, periodical,

brochure, or report. e.g., ("Climate and Weather," 1997).

When a source has 3 to 5 authors, cite each author the first time the citation appears e.g.,

(Jones, Smith, Collins, & Krantz, 2002, p. 3). In subsequent citations, cite only the last name

of the first author, followed by “et al.”, e.g., (Jones, et al., 2002, p. 1).

Please visit the following YouTube site for helpful hints on setting up in-text citations:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HsYUA-helk&feature=related

Book, Magazine, Journal article w/author

(author’s last name, publication date, p. #) Ex: (Smith, 2002, p. 12).

Book, Magazine, Journal article NO author

(“shortened title,” publication date, p. #) Ex: (“Crafting,” 2002, p. 12).

Page 12: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 12

Book, Magazine, Journal article or Webpage with NO publication date

(author’s last name or “shortened article title”, n.d., p. or para. #) Ex: Ex: (“Pizzas,” n.d.,

para. 4).

Webpage article w/author

(author’s last name, copyright OR last update, para. #). Ex: (Jones, 2004, para. 3).

Webpage article with NO author

(“shortened article title,” copyright OR last update, para. #) Ex: (“Pizzas,” 2003, para.

4).

Showing Author Expertise

NOTE: Before using an author’s name to introduce a quote or paraphrase, you must first

introduce the author to identify this author’s expertise. For example, you might say:

How are our students different today? James Smith (2002), author of The New College

Landscape, explains that “today’s college student is often an adult professional with over five years

experience, married, a parent, and an active volunteer” (p. 12). Therefore, these students bring partial

life experiences to the classroom.

After the initial introduction of the author, you may then use the author’s last name only to

introduce the quote or paraphrase, a technique that adds credibility and authority to your

sources.

Quoting an Entire Sentence:

Author’s name not given within sentence, e.g.,

Processing a college degree is essential to be successful in business. In fact, “[a] significant

number of business professionals are returning to college to earn advanced degrees in order to increase

their earning power and potential for advancement” (Smith, 2002, p. 101). Have you considered this

alternative?

(author, publication date, page number)

NOTE: The citation goes inside the punctuation mark.

Page 13: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 13

A quotation, even if it is a complete sentence must be a part of the writer’s sentence.

A transition or an authoring tag can integrated the quote into the writer’s sentence, or

the quotation can be introduced with a colon.

Author’s name used to introduce quote, e.g.,

How are our students different today? According to James Smith (2002), author of The New

College Landscape, “[a] significant number of business professionals are returning to college to earn

advanced degrees in order to increase their earning power and potential for advancement” (p. 101).

Therefore, these students bring partial life experiences to the classroom.

introductory phrase with author name (publication date), author’s expertise, . . . (page

number).

Before using an author’s name to introduce a quote or paraphrase, you must first

introduce the author to identify this author’s expertise.

After the initial introduction of the author, you may then use the author’s last name

only to introduce the quote or paraphrase, a technique that adds credibility and

authority to your sources.

NOTE: The citation goes inside the punctuation mark.

Quoting Part of a Sentence

Author’s name not given within sentence, e.g.,

Why are so many adults returning to school? For many adults, the commitment to obtaining a

college degree is motivated by a desire to “increase their earning power and potential for advancement”

(Smith, 2002, p. 101). Have you considered this option?

Author’s name used to introduce quote, e.g.,

Why are so many adults returning to school? James Smith (2002), author of The New College

Landscape, explains that for many adults, the commitment to obtaining a college degree is motivated by

a desire to “increase their earning power and potential for advancement” (p. 101). Have you considered

this option?

Page 14: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 14

Using Block Quotes: more than 40 words – indent QUOTE ONLY 5 spaces from left margin, but do not

change the right margin – do not use quotation marks

Author’s name not given within sentence used to introduce quote, e.g.,

Adult students are often more dedicated to achieving their college education than many

traditional students. In fact,

[m]ost adult students who make the choice to return to college are accustomed to

prioritizing their tasks. These individuals have experienced the demands of juggling their

responsibilities and are more willing and able to take the initiative to succeed in their academic

career. (Smith, 2002, p. 121).

Many adults who have excelled in their professional lives know how to apply themselves in their new

academic lives.

Indent entire quote five spaces.

No quotation marks utilized.

NOTE: The citation goes outside the punctuation mark.

NOTE: If you continue with the paragraph after the indented reference, you will

return to the left margin to complete the sentence.

NOTE: Remember, you cannot begin or end a paragraph with a quote.

Author’s name used to introduce quote, e.g.,

Why are so many adults returning to school? James Smith (2002), author of The New College

Landscape, points out that adult students are often more dedicated to achieving their college education

than many traditional students:

Most adult students who make the choice to return to college are accustomed to prioritizing their

tasks. These individuals have experienced the demands of juggling their responsibilities and are

more willing and able to take the initiative to succeed in their academic career. (p. 121)

Page 15: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 15

Thus, many adults who have excelled in their professional lives know how to apply themselves in their

new academic lives.

Indent entire quote five spaces.

No quotation marks utilized.

NOTE: The citation goes outside the punctuation mark.

NOTE: If you continue with the paragraph after the indented reference, you will

return to the left margin to complete the sentence. Remember, you cannot end a

paragraph with a quote.

After the initial introduction of the author, you may then use the author’s last

name only to introduce the quote or paraphrase, a technique that adds credibility

and authority to your sources.

Even a multi-sentence, offset quotation must be integrated into the writer’s text,

here; a colon works very well.

PARAPHRASING

Interpreting idea expressed by an author by restating passage in your own words and keeping

approximately the same length as the original. The same rules also apply to a summarization, which is

putting the author’s ideas into your own words, but shortening the length of the passage. A paraphrase or

summarization is preferred over a direct quote.

General

No quotation marks used.

No page or paragraph #.

If there is no date on the article, use the copyright date, or the latest update. If neither

can be found, use “n.d.”.

When citing a paper more than once in the same paragraph, omit the date after the first

citation.

When quoting two or more authors, the last author should be separated by an ampersand

(&), e.g., (Carter & Mathews, 2006). However, when referencing these authors in the

text, the last author will be separated by the word and, e.g., According to John H. Carter

and Seaborn Mathews (2006), authors of the book, The Sun of Georgia, the sun never sets

on Georgia.

You cannot have an in-text citation without a corresponding Reference, unless it is a

Personal Communication.

Book, Magazine, Journal article:

(author’s last name, publication date). Ex: (Smith, 2002).

Webpage article w/author:

(author, copyright date OR last update). Ex: (Jones, 2004).

Page 16: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 16

Webpage article with NO author

(“shortened article title,”, copyright date OR last update). Ex: (“Pizzas,” 2003).

Book, Magazine, Journal article or Webpage with NO publication date:

(author’s last name or “shortened article title”, n.d.). Ex: (“Pizzas,” n.d.,).

Paraphrasing an Entire Sentence or paragraph

Author’s name not given within paraphrased sentence, e.g.,

The revitalization of many urban neighborhoods has resulted in a substantial increase in property

values (Lentz, 2003).

(author, publication date – no page number)

Author’s name used to introduce paraphrase, e.g.,

Urban planner James Lentz (2003), Professor of Urban Planning, Strayer University, asserts that

the revitalization of many urban neighborhoods has resulted in a substantial increase in property values.

introductory phrase with author name (publication date), author’s expertise, . . .

No page number.

MULTIPLE AUTHORS

When a source has 2 authors, cite both names. Ex: (Smith & Jones, 2002, p. 3).

When a source has 3 to 5 authors, cite each author the first time the citation appears. Ex:

(Jones, Smith, Collins, & Krantz, 2002, p. 3). Note : the ampersand (&) is used only in

parenthetical references and on the reference page: write out in the text and use the word,

and.

In subsequent citations, cite only the last name of the first author, followed by “et al.” Ex:

(Jones, et al., 2002, p. 1).

More than 6 authors, cite only the last name of the first author followed by “et al.” every

time the citation appears. Ex: (Jones, et al., 2002, p. 1).

NOTE: The above examples are for citing direct quotes; for paraphrases, no page is used)

text, the last author will be separated by the word and, e.g., According to John Carter and

Seaborn Mathews (2006), authors of the book, The Sun of Georgia, the sun never sets on

Georgia.

You cannot have an in-text citation without a corresponding Reference, unless it is a

Personal Communication.

Pizza is different in other parts of the world. The use of “pizza toppings that seem bizarre to

current tastes, such as squid and octopus, were common in the fishing areas of the Mediterranean sea”

Pizza is different in other parts of the world. The use of “pizza toppings that seem bizarre to

current tastes, such as squid and octopus, were common in the fishing areas of the Mediterranean

sea” (“Pizzas,” 1998, para. 5). That is a long way from pepperoni!

Direct Quote -- no author or article title given from website called PizzaLore, e.g.,

How did pizza begin. Many culinary archaeologists have determined that “the making of pizza

was actually an accident” (PizzaLore, 1998, para. 5). Aren’t you glad the accident occurred?

CITING PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS

General

For letters, memos, e-mail, interviews, cite source in text only. Do not list on References

page, e.g.,

S.U. Varnes (personal communication, May 12, 2001) acknowledges …

REFERENCES LIST

General

All research papers must contain a list of references starting on a new page after the body

of the paper.

The References page should contain full publication information (see examples below)

There should be rare cases whereby an article does not have a source publication, e.g., a

publication, website, etc. Publications should come after the title and should be in italics.

The References page provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and

retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Therefore, only sources cited in the

body of the paper should appear on the References page. Consequently, you cannot have

a Reference without a corresponding In-text Citation.

Please visit the following YouTube video for additional guidance on the proper manner

for formatting your Reference page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmcaYdZDa-

U&feature=related .

Reference Page Format

The word “References” should be centered at the top of your Reference Page.

Page numbering and header should be continued on the Reference page.

For each entry in the list, the first line begins at the left margin and all following lines are

indented five spaces. Use the hanging indent command to ensure the spacing is not lost.

Lines are double-spaced.

Alphabetize by first word of entry (author’s last name; title if no author).

If there are two or more entries for the same author, arrange by year of publication with

the earliest one first.

Do not utilize any underlining or quotation marks for titles.

If there is no date in the source, use the copyright date, or the latest update. If neither

can be found, use “n.d.”.

Websites are not to be underlined. In other words, remove all hyperlinks.

Capitalize journal or magazine titles.

Capitalize only the first word of the title of a book or article, except for proper nouns.

When referencing more than one author, always use the ampersand symbol “&” rather

than the word “and, ” prior to the last author’s last name.

Always include a period after the author’s first initial, the publication date, the title and

the publisher. Please note, you would use a period even if the title ends in another

punctuation mark, e.g.,

[NOTE: APA recommends students use sources of repute when citing material, for example, material

published in peer-reviewed journals. However, APA certainly does not prohibit any sources; it just asks

that you cite them properly. The APA Publication Manual does show examples for how to properly cite

a blog post or comment, showing that these can be legitimate sources.

According to Chelsea Lee, Manuscript Editor/Journals American Psychological Association,

[i]t is important that all citations are from reputable sources. Therefore, all BLOGS are not

prohibition. Remember, not all blogs are created equal. For example, the APA has a style blog

(http://blog.apastyle.org) where we discuss issues related to the manual. Entries go through

extensive vetting to make sure they are consistent with what’s in our manual. They would

certainly be a legitimate source for a paper, as would, say, a blog from a prominent psychologist

talking about his or her research, for example. So while anyone can post a blog, there are lots of

people out there with good, legitimate ideas. Therefore, we ask that you look at who is writing

the blog and what blogs we are talking about than the fact that the information is in blog format.

(personal communication, November 18, 2009).

[NOTE: When you use a non-peer reviewed source, such as a site found by searching Google, it is a

good idea to carefully evaluate the source by, for example, following the CARS procedure. Check for

credibility, accuracy, reasonableness, and support. For more information, see

STRAYER UNIVERSITY PLAGIARISM POLICY

It is essential that all students fully under the University’s Plagiarism Policy. It is as follows:

The Strayer University plagiarism important is At Strayer University we strongly condemn all

forms of academic dishonesty including, but not limited to, plagiarism. Academic integrity is a

critical piece of our overall institutional objective of providing quality education; hence, we also

believe that it is not only important to help students to understand academic integrity but also

help them to see the ways in which it is implemented and maintained throughout the university

and to guide them in learning the proper ways to avoid plagiarism within all pieces of academic

work.

According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means:

1. To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own.

2. To use (another's production) without crediting the source.

3. To commit literary theft.

4. To present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

Quite simply, plagiarism is using someone else's words or ideas as one's own without giving proper

credit and Strayer University considers it to be a serious offense. (“Plagiarism,” n.d.).

Page 27: APA Style Reference

Dr. John H. Carter Revised 7/11/12 27

It is the responsibility of all students to fully understand this policy. Failure to adhere to this polity is a

serious violation of Strayer’s academic policy and will result in an automatic “0” for the entire paper.
