RECAP: APA Referencing In-text references example: As Smith (2013, p. 45) has outlined, it is essential that students "reference with care" when writing their assignments.  In particular, students must "quote their sources accurately" (Jones, 2009, p. 23) and this should all be done in accordance with the guidelines for the referencing style they must follow (White & Johnson, 2010).   Full reference list example: Jones, D. (2009).  The problem with quoting.  Academic writing quarterly, 1(2), 23-29. Smith, P. (2013).  Writing and referencing at university (2nd ed.).  London: KB Publishing. White, A., & Johnson, D., (2010).  Referencing style guides.  London: KB Publishing.
