Why do we use APA and MLA?
-Allows us to give credit to our scores
-It gives us a template to follow so we don't forget anything in our references
-Helps us avoid footnotes or endnotes
-Keeps us from weighing our paper down with titles or unnecessary info
-NOTE: COMM STUDIES DOES NOT HAVE ITS OWN STYLE SO WE USE APA OR MLA
APA//Citing Sources (paraphrased, in text; parenthetical reference)
-Cite source after the sentence (author's last name,comma, year of publication)
EX: Elocution professors established the Departments of Speech during the 1920s and 1930s (Dues &
Brown, 1998)
-Mention authors name in the text and cite the year parenthetically:
According to Dues and Brown (1998), elocution professors established the Departments of Speech
during the 1920s and 1930s
APA// Citing Sources (multiple authors and direct quotes, in text, parenthetical reference)
"Immediacy may override or distort students' perceptions of how frequently teachers misbehave"
(Kelsey et al., 1991, p.44).
-Note year of publication and page number for direct quote
-If 3 or more authors use only the last name of the first author followed by "et al."
