Bibliography and Referencing

Citing sources is an important step in the research process.  By doing so, IC students acknowledge the ideas/words/concepts of someone else, and avoid committing plagiarism.

There are various referencing models used around the world.  At IC, we use APA (American Psychology Association 6th Edition) and MLA (Modern Languages Association, 7th Edition).

APA format (American Psychology Association) is a referencing format mostly used for papers written in social sciences and psychology.  The information below is information for students on how to cite books, websites, magazines, databases, encyclopedias, maps, newspapers, and films, as well as what a sample referencing page would look like.
