In the Module 2 SLP, we will be reviewing American Psychological Association (APA) style. Use of APA style is required in all Trident University International papers – both the Case and SLP – that you will write throughout your graduate program.

The following website – authored by the University of Southern Mississippi – is an excellent resource for APA style:

http://www.lib.usm.edu/help/style_guides.html

The following link relates to the proper citation of sources in the Reference section at the end of your paper:

USM Style Guide for a Reference List

Please review the following site demonstrating proper APA style for "in-text" (or parenthetical) citations: 

In-text citations

I would also like for you to review the following APA guidelines at the Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab). Be sure to review the “In-text Citations” and “Reference Links” reflected on the left navigation bar. Using the left navigation bar, be sure to take specific note as to how books and articles are cited within the body of the paper (i.e., as in-text citations) and how books and articles are reflected in the paper as end references.

After you have reviewed the information on the above sites, please review pages 8-11 and pages 14-16 – relating to “Citations” and “References” in the TUI Well-Written Paper guide. Be sure to note how websites must be cited (page 16).
