@@HGHLibrary sorry to bother you, but I have a question that I have been stuck at, this is my first ever Thesis Paper, and I was wondering if it's allowed to cite other research papers written by students, not the sources but rather them citing as sources?

It's always best to try to locate the original source. However, this isn't always possible - your institution's library may not be able to provide access to a particular book or article. It is worth checking in with your library to see if they can locate the item in their collection, online subscriptions, or via inter-library loan. If you do choose to reference a text indirectly, the steps are outlined here (scroll down to "Citing Indirect Sources"): owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/in_text_citations_author_authors.html When looking at student papers as sources, it is worth asking yourself some questions that will help you determine their legitimacy, accuracy, and validity: Where did I find this paper? (e.g. in an institution's repository of student theses); Was the paper graded or reviewed by a professor or panel?; Will the person/people grading and assessing my work be able to access this same student paper and will they recognize this student's work? If you are unable to answer those questions satisfactorily or unable locate the original source, I would recommend looking for peer-reviewed publications that reference the same text. Your institution's library should be able to help you with that search.

Glad to hear that!

We love that you love it!

Thanks for your question! You should put the year in parentheses after the author's name the first time you use it in the paraphrase. For example: "Benatar (1983) suggests that a romantic relationship often shares similarities with the front line of a war." If you do not use the author's name within your sentence(s), add the author's last name and the year in parentheses at the end of the paraphrase.

Hello, great question. Yes, the article is usually double spaced along with the references. But always check with your assignment or publication requirements in addition to APA rules.

Tnks a lot!

Thanks for your question! The APA Manual recommends avoiding both under-citation and over-citation. You don't need to repeat the citation after every sentence if the topic and source haven't changed. If your paraphrase continues to a new paragraph, add the citation again after the first sentence. For more guidance on this topic, consult section 8.1 and 8.24 of the 7th edition of the APA Manual.

Thank you :)

HumberLibraries thank u so much 😍

Hi Maureen - Replied to your comment above :) For reference, there is a space between 'p.' and the page #. Example: p. 38.

HumberLibraries thank youuuu 🥰

Great question! Include a space between 'p.' and the page numbers. Use 'pp.' for a page range. For example: 'p. 38' and 'pp. 38-41'

Thank you!

Hi there. Although it appears that it the issue number is not present in the citation that BMJ Open provides under Citation Tools, the journal does follow the Volume/Issue format. If you look in the top left corner of the article full text you will see the path to the article (e.g. Home / Archive / Volume 10, Issue 2). You will also see the volume and issue after the word "content" in the URL of the article (e.g.bmjopen.bmj.com/content/10/2/e031820).

I believe you are asking about how to format a list of References... the References page will contain the full citation for your sources (including books and websites with URL). Make sure to order your References list alphabetically, double space, and indent after the first line. If you have other questions, let us know!

If there is only one paragraph, we recommend referring to it as "para.1."

@@HGHLibrary Thank you

Hi there. If quotation marks appear in the quote, use double quotation marks for the beginning and end of the full quote and single quotation marks for the quote within. For example: Humber Libraries (2021) note that they "love reading the comments on RU-vid, especially the recent one from Todd Murray, 'Okay, but what was the song at the beginning because that was fire' as it made us all smile."

@@HGHLibrary ok sir thanks

Thanks for your question! This video was made using PowerPoint and iMovie.

Awwwww, thank you Rob!

@@HGHLibrary Thank You Sir for solving my confusion😊

Thanks for your question. For the in-text citation APA requires only the last name. For the reference list APA requires the last name followed by their initials). It can be challenging to determine if the name provided is two first names and a last name (e.g. Billy Bob Thornton) or two last names (e.g. Mary Tyler-Moore). Often a double last name will be hyphenated. In your example, I think it would be (Smith, 2019) in the in-text citation and Smith, J.D. in the reference list.

Thanks for this excellent feedback. We are always looking to improve these videos. We'll be sure to act on this feedback when we make the next series.

@@HGHLibrary The manual isn't this user friendly lol.

We're glad you find the videos helpful! (But to be fair we couldn't make them without the manual!)

@@HGHLibrary The manual walked so that you guys can fly! LOL
