APA Citation Style & Format - Fifth (5th) Edition

[Indian4621]

Started my Masters and was confused about the APA refrencing, Mucho thanks

[shaneek1000]

i really appreciate this man lesson.

@shaneek1000 -- don't forget that this video is on the APA Fifth (5th). Most teachers are using the Sixth (6th). So be sure to ask your teacher which one he/she wants.

Thanks! I noticed that in my week 3 lecture for my ENG 115 class. My professor allowed me to go back and make some changes and I still got 100%. I am so excited about my grade. :0))

[100thickalicwayz]

I really, really appreceiate this tutorial. It really has helped me out. I first access this 3 weeks ago for my ENG 115 class, where I am required to write my papers in APA style. I didn't know anything about it but with your tutorial and browsing through my, A WRITER'S RESOURCE BOOK. I have been getting all A's on my papers, again thanks so much!!!!!

[peakdavid]

@100thickalicwayz <-- Great news about your grades. Make sure that using APA 5th edition is what your teachers want. In 2010, APA put out a 6th edition and that's what most schools are using now. Good luck!

Thank you so much~ but this video unclear~

[peakdavid]

@ZHVICTOR --thanks for your comment. I agree. It is unclear. The watch in HQ is no longer available. Why are you using the 5th edition of APA? The 5th has been replaced by the 6th.

[DuyAnh1]

at 4:46 date of publication

is this the date of the essay or the date of book when it was published

[peakdavid]

DuyAnh--the APA 5th edition came out a number of years ago, but some schools still use APA 5th. That's why I've kept the video up. Ask your teacher which edition you should be using--5th or 6th.

[peakdavid]

@DuyAnh1 --the date of the edition you are looking at/accessing. If you got the essay from a book, use the date the book was published. If you got the essay online, use the date it was posted online, etc.

When I put runninghead then the title its underlines as if its being mispelled. What should I do?

[peakdavid]

If it is a colored underline, check the spelling again and then ignore the underline

[MissSomayeh]

@tbabyboy16 When you type in the "Running head:" you separate the words with a space. You capitalize the first letter of the first word, R, and leave the first letter of the second letter, h, lowercase. It should read exactly as below:

Running head:
