This guide is for the APA Style Seventh Edition, which was published in October 2019. TP is adopting this style from April 2020 onwards. APA 7th edition has introduced some simplifications to the style, making citations easier! There are also guidelines on more online sources.
Why Cite?
When using an idea or information that is not your own, you must acknowledge the source in two places. A brief author-date information is provided within the sentence (in-text citation) and full details of the source are given at the end of your assignment (reference list).
ASC, BUS, DES, HSS and IIT use the APA (American Psychological Association) citation style. ENG and Chemical Engineering students should use the IEEE citation style.
Free citation tools help you by saving time, but they do not always generate perfect citations. Make sure you check and correct any mistakes. This means you will still need to know APA citation style!
Mendeley is a powerful tool that allows you to manage your references and cite them. You may want to try this tool if you have many references. Refer to the guide below for more information.
