引用及参考书目格式APA
1.文中引用
直接引文的摆放:插入正文或单独排列(Quotations run into the text or set off from the text)。引用的是散文而又不超过40字,那么应该放入正文中,并用引号引起来;引用的是诗歌而又不超过两行,也应当放入正文中。诗行之间用“/”,符号两边留空;保留原诗中的大写。
Curtius’s term “the Latin Middle Ages” covers a range of Roman legacies, including “the share of Rome, of the Roman idea of the state, of the Roman church, and of Roman culture.”
In his “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty”, Shelley personifies the immaterial spiritual world: “The awful shadow of some unseen Power / Floats through unseen amongst us.”
当然,为了强调也可以将篇幅短的诗歌或散文断开,以获得强调的效果。直接引用应该保持原貌,包括原始资料中的各种标点和符号。断开的引文的格式为:另起一行,左右都缩进3个字符,斜体,并和正文之间空一行,如果原文为1.5倍行距,引文就改为单倍行距,以示区别,达到醒目的效果。如:
…Wolfson argues:
[W]here secretaries did use first name for women while reserving title and last name for male faculty, this usage appeared to be a manifestation of a combination of female solidarity with a sense that female professors were in lower status positions than their male colleagues, even where age and rank were similar. (p. 168)
We prefer to point out the ways that …
注意,中括号为作者自己加上去的,表示对原文中字母w作了改动。
直接或间接引用的基本格式
APA正文引用的基本格式是小括号中包含作者的姓,然后逗号,接着是出版年(月),再逗号,最后为页码。如:Even Einstein recoiled from the implication of quantum mechanics that reality is an illusion (Gribbin, 1984, p.2).
如果间接引文中提到了作者的姓,括号中无须标出作者的姓,如:Gould (1989) attribute
s Darwin’s success to his gift for making the appropriate metaphor;如果引文中既提到了作者的姓又提到了时间,那就无需加注,但是在references中要反映出来。如:In a 1989 article, Gould explores some of Darwin’s most effective metaphors.
当某个作品在参考书目中没有作者信息(以作品名等开头),文中引言以作品名的缩减形式列在小括号中,其中,书、报告,小册子或期刊名用斜体,而文章名或章节用双引号,如:
The National Endowment for the Humanities supports “theoretical and critical studies of the arts” but not work in the creative or performing arts (Guidelines, 1995, p. 1).
  Change in the Medical College Admissions Test to begin in 1991 are expected to encourage more student to pursue in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences (“New Exam,” 1989 )
