英文附件：APA Style（见下页）APA StyleThe following is a simplified APA Style guide. For all rules and requirements, please consult the6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.APA requires that information be cited in 2 different ways—within the text and in a reference list at the end of the paper. The reference list should be on a new page, double spaced, and use the hanging indent method (all lines after the first one are indented).CITATIONS IN THE TEXT:APA uses the author-date method of citation. The last name of the author and the date ofpublication are inserted in the text in the appropriate place.When referencing or summarizing a source, provide the author and year. When quoting orsummarizing a particular passage, include the specific page or paragraph number, as well.When quoting in your paper, if a direct quote is less than 40 words, incorporate it into your text and use quotation marks. If a direct quote is more than 40 words, make the quotation a free-standing indented block of text and DO NOT use quotation marks.•One work by one author:1.In one developmental study (Smith, 1990), children learned...2.In the study by Smith (1990), primary school children...3.In 1990, Smith’s study of pri m ary school children…•Works by multiple authors:When a work has 2 authors cite both names every time you reference the work in the text.When a work has three to five authors cite all the author names the first time the reference occurs and then subsequently include only the first author followed by et al. For example: First citation: Masserton, Slonowski, and Slowinski (1989) state that...Subsequent citations: Masserton et al. (1989) state that...For 6 or more authors, cite only the name of the first author followed by et al. and the year. •Works by no identified author:When a resource has no named author, cite the first few words of the reference entry (usually the title). Use double quotation marks around the title of an article, chapter, or Web page. Italicize the title of a periodical, book, brochure, or report. For example:The site seemed to indicate support for hom eopathic drugs (“Medical Miracles,” 2009). Thebrochure argues for homeschooling (Education Reform, 2007).Treat reference to legal materials such as court cases, statutes, and legislation like works with7no author.•Two or more works in the same parenthetical citation:Citations of two or more works in the same parentheses should be listed in the order theyappear in the reference list (i.e., alphabetically, then chronologically).Several studies (Jones & Powell, 1993; Peterson, 1995, 1998; Smith, 1990) suggestthat...•Specific parts of a sourceAlways give the page number for quotations or to indicate information from a specific table, chart, chapter, graph, or page. The word page is abbreviated but not chapter. For example: The painting was assumed to be by Matisse (Powell, 1989, Chapter 6), but later analysisshowed it to be a forgery (Murphy, 1999, p. 85).If, as in the instance of online material, the source has neither visible paragraph nor pagenumbers, cite the heading and the number of the paragraph following it. This allows the reader to locate the text in the source. For example:The patient wrote that she was unimpressed by the doctor’s bedside manner (Smith,2006, Hospital Experiences section, para. 2).CITATIONS IN A REFERENCE LIST:In general, references should contain the author name, publication date, title, and publicationinformation. Include the issue number if the journal is paginated by issue.BooksTypical book entry -- single authorArnheim, R. (1971). Art and visual perception. Berkeley: University of California Press.∙Publishing information - Spell out the publishing names of associations and university presses, but omit superfluous terms such as “Publishers,”“Co.,” or “Inc.” If two or more locations aregiven, give the location listed first or the publisher's home office. When the publisher is auniversity and the name of the state (or province) is included in the university name, do notrepeat the name of the state/province in the publisher location. When the author and publisher are identical, use the word “Author” as the name of the publisher.American Psychiatric Association. (1994).
