APA style and writing
When you are working out a text based on other source, it is a reason to name the sources
from which you used. If you used the idea or concept of another author for the preparation
of the text you have to cite the source. If the text you quoted something you heard or
another author, likewise, need to mention. If you have other sources to illustrate their
ideals in the text, you can give readers other sources.
There are three ways to name the work of other authors: paraphrasing, quoting directly and
/ or summarizing. To paraphrase, you will develop the idea of the author including his last
name and year of publication in parentheses. You basically use a passage from another
author source material paraphrase in your own words and needs to be attributed to the
original source is usually smaller than the original passage of the author. As in the
example. “According to Watkins (2010), the number of MBA students in the United States
will be growing” When you use quotes, you need to put the last author’s name and the date,
but the page number or paragraph number, the latter when the source is online. Recalling
that it has to be identical to the original. Follow the example: “the research findings
Clearly Indicate support for the hypotheses” (Douglass, 1986, p. 55). “. As the name says,
in short, you will not put the same words the author’s idea. You need to summarize, with
his words, the main idea of another author.
There are three major methods to provide support for claims or put credibility in your text,
reference work all sources used, use other views to illustrate and prove its factors and its
findings and focus the attention you want your readers to believe or do not.
