 APA referencing is widely used in health and medicine and was developed by the American Psychological Association.  The APA style of referencing is detailed in a manual, currently in its 7th edition, and so the current version of APA is known as ‘APA 7th’. If you are using any digital tools to help you produce your references, then you will need to make sure that you use the settings for APA 7th.  APA referencing is widely used in health and medicine and was developed by the American Psychological Association.  The APA style of referencing is detailed in a manual, currently in its 7th edition, and so the current version of APA is known as ‘APA 7th’.

 The list is in **alphabetical order** and should start on a new page at the end of your assignment.  When you alphabetise your references by author's surname, proceed letter by letter disregarding any spaces, capitalization, hyphens, apostrophes, full stops or accent marks e.g. De Vargas would go under D; van den Oord would go under V. The list is in **alphabetical order** and should start on a new page at the end of your assignment.  When you alphabetise your references by author's surname, proceed letter by letter disregarding any spaces, capitalization, hyphens, apostrophes, full stops or accent marks e.g. De Vargas would go under D; van den Oord would go under V.
 +Bibliography: This is a second list, in the same format as the reference list but instead it includes sources that you read or consulted, but didn’t actually cite in the assignment. For most assignments you will only need a reference list, but sometimes you might also choose to include a bibliography to indicate your background reading.

- 
-__**Lecture notes**__ 
- 
-Unless your assignment brief states that you can use lecture notes as references you should stick to referencing published sources (books, journal articles etc).  If you do need to reference a lesson then set it out as follows: 
-  … (Bendle, 2020). 
-  Bendle (2020) describes … 
-Bendle, C. (2020). PC101 Herbal Traditions Term 1 Lesson 2: //Urtica dioica//, Stinging nettle. [PowerPoint slides]. https://heartwood-uk.net/lms/course/view.php?id=652 
- 
-__**Referencing sources with the same author and date**__

-  (Bendle, 2020a) 
-  (Bendle, 2020b)

- 
-__**Images**__ 
- 
-For every image, even on a title page you should provide a caption under the image, which includes a title and a citation in brackets e.g. 
- 
-{{:pc:pc_assessments:mandragora_for_apa.png?200|}} 
-  
-Figure 2. //Mandragora officinarum// L. (Gregory, n.d.) 
- 
-If the image does not have a title in the original publication, then come up with one that describes the image. 
- 
-Put the full details of the image in the Reference list at the end of the assignment as follows: 
-  Gregory, S. (n.d). Mandragora officinarum L. [Photograph]. http://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:816733-1 
-If the image is your own then you can either use you own name in the citation or ‘Author’s own image’.  If the image is unpublished, you do not add it to the reference list.  
-  Figure 1: Image title (Author's own image) 
-or 
-  Figure 1: Image title (Your name) 
- 
-__**Personal Communications **__ 
- 
-Referencing is usually only for published work but you can cite information you have obtained personally (such as verbal information, emails or personal recipes) by using a personal communication citation.  However, this method does involve using the person's name so you should only use this method if you have their permission and it would be appropriate to do so.   
-  … (J. Bloggs, personal communication, January 28, 2021). 
-  Joe Bloggs (personal communication, January 28, 2021) developed the recipe … 
-You do not put anything in the reference list as the information isn’t publicly available. 
- 
-__**Testimonials**__ 
- 
-Testimonials about a product or service often just use initials / and or occupation to give a sense of the person, without revealing their identity e.g. 
-  "The lessons were great" (B.B. 2nd year student) 
-Another option for testimonial quotes in an assignment is to ensure the sentence introducing the info makes it clear where it is from (in a similar way to a newspaper article). e.g. 
-  Testimonials were gathered from users, who commented: "It tasted lovely". 
-Testimonials do not have reference list entries. 
- 
-__**Traditional Knowledge and Oral Traditions**__ 
- 
-To refer to traditional knowledge that has not been recorded or incorporated into a publication, for example if you spoke to an indigenous person directly, you should provide as much detail as you can in the main text and then use the personal communication citation.   
-  We spoke with Anna Grant (Haida Nation, lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, personal communication, April 2019) about traditional understandings of the world by First Nations Peoples in Canada. She described . . . 
-Personal communications do not have entries in the reference list.   
- 
-To demonstrate respect for indigenous people and perspectives you should capitalise the names of specific groups (e.g. Cherokee, Cree, Ojibwe) and words relating to indigenous culture (e.g., Creation, the Creator, Elder, Oral Tradition, Traditional Knowledge, Vision Quest).   
- 
-For more information, see the [[https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/personal-communications|APA guide to personal communications]]
