Ganpat University-Faculty of Management Studies Journal of Management & Research (GFJMR) Referencing Guideline for Contributors
The “APA style” is a generic author-date style for citing and referencing information in assignments and publications. There are
many styles which follow the author-date convention, including the Harvard style and the Chicago Manual of Style. This guide is
based on the American Psychological Association’s Publication Manual, 5th edition.
What is referencing?
Referencing is a standardised way of acknowledging the sources of information and ideas that you have used in your assignments and
which allows the sources to be identified.
Why reference?
Referencing is important to avoid plagiarism, to verify quotations and to enable readers to follow up what you have written and more
fully understand the cited author’s work.
Steps in referencing
• Record the full bibliographic details and relevant page numbers of the source from which information is taken.
• Insert the citation at the appropriate place in the text of your document.
• Include a reference list that includes all in-text citations at the end of your document.
In-text citations
• In an author-date style, in-text citations usually require the name of the author(s) and the year of publication.
• A page number is included if you have a direct quote, paraphrase a passage or you want to direct the reader to a specific page or idea.
Page numbers may also be included if the you are referring to a long work and the page numbers might be useful to the reader.
How to create a reference list/bibliography
• A reference list includes just the books, articles, and web pages etc that are cited in the text of the document. A bibliography
includes all sources consulted for background or further reading.
• A reference list is arranged alphabetically by author. If an item has no author, it is cited by title, and included in the alphabetical list
using the first significant word of the title.
• If you have more than one item with the same author, list the items chronologically, starting with the earliest publicatio n.
• Each reference appears on a new line.
• Each item in the reference list is required to have a hanging indent.
