Correct

1) The Reference section should start on a separate page under the centered
heading References, which does not use bold font. The reference entries
should appear in alphabetical order by authors' surname (or by title if works do
not list an author) regardless of the type of source (e.g., book, film, journal
article, website).

A. True

B. False

Feedback

APA style rules call for bold font to applied to heading Levels 1-4 WITHIN the body of the paper.
According to APA, the title page, the Reference section, and appendices are not within the body of
the paper (Strictly speaking, the body of the paper starts with the paper's title on the first page of
text, encompassing everything through the last sentence of the concluding paragraph).

Look closely at Ans. A to see that the writer has misplaced the period BEFORE the
citation. The correct APA format (Ans. B) places the sentence punctuation AFTER the
parenthetical citation to indicate the citation refers to the preceding information. Ans. C
uses the correct punctuation but has spelled out and rather than using the ampersand
(&), and therefore, does not follow APA style. Ans. D has the incorrect publication year. It

For works with 3-5 authors, the first in-text citation lists all authors; subsequent

According to APA, in-text citations for works with 6 or more authors can be
shortened to first author + et al. (abbreviation for "and others) on first use.

Answer A didn't shorten the citation and misspelled the names of two
authors (Chan instead of Cahn; Steel instead of Stele). Attention to detail
is critical.

In addition to not using the shortened citation format, Answer B used

"and" instead of the & symbol. "And" should be spelled out when the
authors' names are used in the sentence but parenthetical citations should
use the ampersand (&).

Answer D used an inappropriate format for a parenthetical citation;

however, the use of "and colleagues" is allowed if the authors' names are

Ans A is incorrect because it doesn't have correct punctuation for

authors' initials and has used headline style caps for the article title.

Ans. B uses the correct format for the author information and year, but
is missing the other essential elements of the entry.

Ans. C is the correct format; the article title is in correct sentence style
caps with Latino Health Assessment Project capped because it is a
proper name. APA format omits the issue number for journals that use
continuous pagination throughout a volume. In other words, if Vol. 4,
Issue 1 contains pages 1-190, and Vol. 4, Issue 2 contains pages 191
-302, the journal is using continuous pagination. In this quiz example,
the high page numbers (i.e., 1134-1145) are a strong clue that the
journal is using continuous pagination.

Ans D has two fatal flaws. For works with 7 authors, list all authors.
For works with more than 7 authors, list the first 6, insert ... then list
the last author. Second flaw: DOI should be lowercase.

8) Suppose you have written a paper on the mission of
social work, which is based on a section of the Code
of Ethics adopted by the National Association of
Social Workers (NASW) in 2008. The original
section from the NASW website appears below. .
"The mission of the social work profession is rooted in a set
of core values. These core values, embraced by social
workers throughout the profession's history, are the
foundation of social work's unique purpose and perspective: ·
service · social justice · dignity and
worth of the person · importance of human
relationships · integrity · competence." Which
of the statements in your paper would need to
include a citation? (Select all that apply)

● Statement A: The social work profession

seeks to ensure the well-being of the most
vulnerable among the population.
● Statement B: The National Association of
Social Workers (NASW) has established a
Code of Ethics that govern practitioners'
actions in field.
● Statement C: The Code of Ethics notes that
the mission of social work is grounded in six
essential values: (a) service, (b) social
justice (c) dignity and worth of the person (d)
importance of human relationships, (e)
integrity, and (f) competence.
● Statement D: According to the NASW Code
of Ethics, the misson of all social workers
should be based on a set of core principles,
including service to others, ensuring social
justice and equality, recognizing and
ensuring each person's value and dignity,
working to preserve the essential worth of
human relationships, acting in accord with
moral soundness and ethical wholeness,
and possessing the skills and knowledge to
carry out tasks required for practice.

Answer)

C. Statement C should include a citation. (Your

Answer)

D. Statement D should include a citation. (Your

Answer)

E. All of the above (Your Answer)

Feedback

Statement A does not need a citation because the

information could be considered general knowledge.
Although Statement B notes that the Code of Ethics is
authored by the NASW, the statement should include a
citation that notes the year of the Code that the author has
used as a source. Statement C gives specific information that
cannot be considered as general knowledge even within the
field of social work; therefore, this statement should include a
full citation of author and year for the source of this
information (i.e., National Association of Social Workers,
2008). In addition, Statement C is a poor paraphrase of the
section from the Code of Ethics; an improved revision would
place quote marks around the six values. Although Statement
D is a paraphrase of the section from the Code of Ethics, the
basic thoughts and concepts expressed were derived from a
source; therefore, the statement should include a citation
giving credit to the word, thoughts, and work of others that
has influenced the author's thinking.

All answers are acceptable, but Answers A and B are the

reasons that are most widely accepted. Secondary
citations are weak supports because you are relying on
another person's interpretation of the primary source.
Rigorous scholarship demands that you investigate
primary sources whenever possible. Moreover, students
should seek out the primary sources of seminal works
such as Erickson's that have had a substantial influence
on the field.

Feedback

No flip-flopping with abbreviations. According to

APA style rules, once you have defined an
abbreviation by writing out the full term and
placing the abbreviation in parentheses, you must
use the abbreviation thereafter. APA allows the
use of an abbreviation to start a sentence.

The example shows a common misuse of a colon:

Many people are under the false assumption that
a colon should be used to start a list. Wrong. A
colon must be preceded by an independent
clause: In other words, what appears to the left of
the colon must be a complete sentence that is
capable of standing alone. However, what follows
the colon does not have to be an independent
clause.

According to APA "in-line seriation" or lists of

items that appear within a sentence can be
distinguished using lowercase letters enclosed in

D Nothing - the sentence is correct

Feedback

Items in a list must have parallel structure.

Usually the easiest way to achieve parallel
structure is to use the same verb form to begin
each item in the list. Using the SIP example
from this question, the list of steps could be
revised as follows: (a) encoding cues, (b)
interpreting cues, (c) clarifying goals, (d)
constructing responses, (e) deciding on a
response, and (f) enacting the selected
response.

Parallel structure creates a harmony with each

item hitting a pleasant note; when parallel
structure is lacking, some items will hit sour or
off-tune notes.

corporate America: (a)
corporations will have
fewer highly skilled and
talented mid-level
employees from which
they can select
executives, and (b)
corporations will need to
overcome this "brain
drain" by subcontracting
with these entrepreneurs
for their services
(Keaveney, 2004).

EThe current fashion of

. members of the younger
generation owning their
own businesses might
water down the numbers
of available potential
low-ranking
administrators; however,
it might also supply a
necessary means at a
basic level for business
to subcontract
(Keaveney, 2004).
 Feedback

Answer A would be an acceptable

paraphrase IF the source were
cited. Paraphrasing without citing
the source is plagiarism because
you are representing another
author's thoughts as your own.

Answer B is NOT an acceptable

paraphrase because it duplicates
parts of the original without
identifying the words or phrases
as quotes.

Answer C is NOT an acceptable

paraphrase because it is not
identical in meaning to the
original.

Answer D IS an acceptable
paraphrase because it restates
Keaveney's ideas using this
author's own words AND it credits
the original source.

Answer E is NOT an acceptable

paraphrase because the syntax
follows the original too closely.
