Applied Behavior Analysis: Citation & Writing

These and many other resources are provided by the official APA Style site.

Best practices to avoid plagiarism:

• Make direct quotations obvious with quotation marks or indentations
• Paraphrase by changing the language of the source idea as much as possible
• When in doubt: cite your source
• In your notes and working drafts, label ideas that aren't your own
• Save citations as you research, so you won't need to find them again

Citation manager apps can make your work easier by 

• saving and organizing your references in a personal or shared library,
• inserting formatted citations within your paper,
• creating a bibliography of your sources.

  No citation manager creates perfect citations. Check all your citations before submitting your work.
