2. APA format

To use in our essays, out of lots of formatting tecniques, we studied APA. In APA, the main points are in-text citations and list of references.

There are 3 ways of gathering information from our sources.First one is using quotations when we want to take to the whole sentence or phrase from the author's text.In this method both in-text citation and list of references are needed.

The other way is phraphrasing.It means to re-write the sentence with your own words.We must use both of the tecniques in this method too.

The last one is summarising, which means shortening and phraprasing the original text.Again in this , we must use both of tecniques.

An example for in-text citations;
Our voyeuristic demand seems to be increasing; we hardy pay attention anymore to single murders. (Rushdie, 2001)

An example for list of references;
Tack, S. (2009) Week 3: Proper use of source material. ENG 101 The Indıvıdual, Society and Change. Student sentence #4.

In order to avoid plaigirism and to give credit the author, we must do both of the tecniques.It also helps the reader to find more information about the text if they wanted.
