What is referencing?
Referencing, also known as citing or sourcing, is the practice of identifying where you found
facts, ideas, or quotes you use in your writing.
APA is a type of referencing style that is very popular in the business world.
Proper referencing includes in-text citations and a Reference page at the end of the
document.
o In-text citations
Example for a quote under 40 words:
Every group evolves a structure that may help or hinder effectiveness.
(Bolman, 2013, p. 112)
o Reference page
This should always be a separate page at the end of your document
Example:
References
