APA Referencing: Referencing and APA

APA referencing style is an author-date referencing system published by the American Psychological Association. 

There are two components in the APA referencing style: in-text citations and their corresponding reference list entries. With anything that you have read, used and referred to in your academic writing, you must:

• acknowledge in text (i.e. in the work / assignment/ essay you are writing)
• include in your reference list (i.e. the list at the end of your work of all the sources you refer to)

Referencing is about acknowledging the ownership of resources used in your academic writing and providing the information necessary to identify and retrieve the work cited in the text.

At GGS the style used is APA 7.
