REFERENCE FORMATS
Your text and the reference list must agree. "References cited in text must
appear in the reference list; conversely, each entry in the reference list must
be cited in text" (APA, 2001, p. 215). See the section on
Reference citations for citing references in text.
Abbreviating within a reference
Here are approved abbreviations for use
in a reference list:
- chap. for chapter
- ed. for edition
- rev. ed. for revised edition
- 2nd ed. for second edition
- Ed. for Edited by
- (Eds.) for multiple editors
- Trans. for Translated by
- p. for page number, with a space after the period
- pp. for page numbers (plural)
- Vol. for a specific Volume
- vols. for a work with xx volumes
- No. for Number
- Pt. for Part
- Suppl. for Supplement,
- Tech. Rep. for Technical Report
Use the abbreviation "pp." for page numbers
in encyclopedia entries, multi-page newspaper articles, chapters or articles in
edited books, but
not in journal or magazine article citations, where
numbers alone should be used (see examples of reference formats).
