00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.400
>> Hello. This screencast

00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:03.680
will show you
how to create

00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:06.970
an APA formatted
reference page for

00:00:06.970 --> 00:00:10.805
your final manuscript
in our class.

00:00:10.805 --> 00:00:13.920
So APA manual came

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:16.180
out with the seventh
edition in 2019,

00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:17.300
and so we will follow

00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:20.720
the seventh edition rules.

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:24.105
They don't recommend using

00:00:24.105 --> 00:00:28.460
any serif fonts like
Times New Roman anymore,

00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:30.890
so we want to use
something sans serif.

00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:34.535
I like Calibri. You
could also use Aerial.

00:00:34.535 --> 00:00:37.480
But anyway. So you need to

00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:39.840
create an APA style
reference page.

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.220
You want to start with

00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:43.420
the heading, which
is references.

00:00:43.420 --> 00:00:45.280
This heading will be bold

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.340
and centered on the page.

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:48.560
And notice how I did that,

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.010
I just typed it and

00:00:50.010 --> 00:00:52.650
then I selected
bold and center.

00:00:52.650 --> 00:00:54.180
And now my references

00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:55.790
are centered on the page.

00:00:55.790 --> 00:00:58.020
Now notice that
the next line

00:00:58.020 --> 00:00:59.480
is also centered
on the page,

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:00.500
which I don't want.

00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:02.280
To fix that, just go over

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.220
here and do
your line left,

00:01:05.220 --> 00:01:06.860
and you will be started

00:01:06.860 --> 00:01:10.020
over at a one inch margin.

00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:11.840
Make sure that you're
set at the default

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.000
with one inch
margins all around.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.620
I'll show you
how to make sure

00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:17.240
that you have
that in a second.

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:18.900
So then just go ahead and

00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:21.490
start typing
your references.

00:01:21.490 --> 00:01:25.730
So you can either
type by hand.

00:01:25.730 --> 00:01:27.940
I could type
something like,

00:01:27.940 --> 00:01:29.220
let's see, you
want to make

00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:30.595
sure the bold is off.

00:01:30.595 --> 00:01:34.120
So we could do
Oswald, B. B.

00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:39.680
Let's see, recent paper.

00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:41.560
And I don't know,

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.130
I just make up
some names here.

00:01:44.130 --> 00:01:49.425
We'll have maybe
a 2019 paper,

00:01:49.425 --> 00:01:54.870
the effects of PSY 294

00:01:54.870 --> 00:01:59.870
on stress in
college students.

00:01:59.870 --> 00:02:02.070
And let's say that
got published

00:02:02.070 --> 00:02:06.105
in Teaching of
Psychology Journal,

00:02:06.105 --> 00:02:10.695
and that might be
Volume 113 Issue 2,

00:02:10.695 --> 00:02:19.025
pages 24 to,
let's say, 29.

00:02:19.025 --> 00:02:22.270
So there is an APA
style reference.

00:02:22.270 --> 00:02:24.550
Notice there's a few
things wrong with it.

00:02:24.550 --> 00:02:28.310
I need to
italicize this and

00:02:28.310 --> 00:02:31.560
this and then I also need

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.580
to double space everything

00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:36.245
and use hanging
paragraph indent.

00:02:36.245 --> 00:02:39.595
It also took me quite
a while to do that.

00:02:39.595 --> 00:02:44.325
You can go ahead
and copy paste.

00:02:44.325 --> 00:02:46.290
Sorry, I didn't
mean to do that.

00:02:46.290 --> 00:02:49.185
From the site function,

00:02:49.185 --> 00:02:52.040
I'm just going to
do an example here,

00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:55.500
and I will copy paste into

00:02:55.500 --> 00:03:00.195
my new document and
that will show up.

00:03:00.195 --> 00:03:03.370
Now notice here I
have copy pasted.

00:03:03.370 --> 00:03:05.150
It's out of
alphabetical order,

00:03:05.150 --> 00:03:06.710
so I want to drag
that around and

00:03:06.710 --> 00:03:08.930
make sure everything's
in alphabetical order.

00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:13.450
I can add some more
references to my list.

00:03:13.450 --> 00:03:15.110
Let me grab a couple

00:03:15.110 --> 00:03:17.045
more here through
copy paste.

00:03:17.045 --> 00:03:18.810
Where you, again, might be

00:03:18.810 --> 00:03:20.410
copy pasting
these are out of

00:03:20.410 --> 00:03:24.310
the site function in
the library database,

00:03:24.310 --> 00:03:27.510
which is another video
that is provided

00:03:27.510 --> 00:03:30.390
through our embedded
librarian on Canvas.

00:03:30.390 --> 00:03:31.570
So make sure you

00:03:31.570 --> 00:03:32.350
check that out if

00:03:32.350 --> 00:03:33.970
you don't know
how to do it.

00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:36.690
And notice that now
these are better and

00:03:36.690 --> 00:03:39.470
that the proper things
are italicized.

00:03:39.470 --> 00:03:40.965
I have the doi.org

00:03:40.965 --> 00:03:43.025
included, things
like that,

00:03:43.025 --> 00:03:45.150
but I still have
a mistake in

00:03:45.150 --> 00:03:46.250
the final format and

00:03:46.250 --> 00:03:47.870
nothing is double spaced.

00:03:47.870 --> 00:03:49.450
This last one doesn't use

00:03:49.450 --> 00:03:51.200
hanging paragraph
and all that stuff.

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:52.465
So how do I fix that?

00:03:52.465 --> 00:03:54.510
The easiest way
to fix that is

00:03:54.510 --> 00:03:58.490
to come over here.
Do select all.

00:03:58.490 --> 00:04:01.030
Click this paragraph.

00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:04.310
Make sure that
your spacing is

00:04:04.310 --> 00:04:06.410
before set to zero and

00:04:06.410 --> 00:04:09.090
after is also set to zero.

00:04:09.090 --> 00:04:12.950
Make sure that your
line spacing is double.

00:04:12.950 --> 00:04:15.740
And then click Okay.

00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:18.840
Now, that helped
everything on the page,

00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:22.060
including the title
to be double spaced.

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:25.660
But how do I get these
nice fancy indents?

00:04:25.660 --> 00:04:27.220
You don't want to indent.

00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:29.420
You want to leave

00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:32.225
now the word
references out of it.

00:04:32.225 --> 00:04:35.740
Just select all of
your references now,

00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:38.000
and let me
scooch this down

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.050
and make sure you
can see everything.

00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:43.285
This isn't letting
me do that.

00:04:43.285 --> 00:04:44.400
Hold on. I'll go

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:46.880
back up so you can
see what I'm doing.

00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:51.910
So I have everything
selected.

00:04:51.910 --> 00:04:52.650
I'm going to click

00:04:52.650 --> 00:04:54.710
this little paragraph
line again.

00:04:54.710 --> 00:04:56.750
And now here I want to use

00:04:56.750 --> 00:05:00.610
the special function and
just select hanging.

00:05:00.930 --> 00:05:04.670
Now, it almost worked
but not perfectly.

00:05:04.670 --> 00:05:06.345
Look at how I got this.

00:05:06.345 --> 00:05:07.630
These other guys look

00:05:07.630 --> 00:05:09.490
great, mine looks wonky.

00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:11.470
What I'm going to
do to fix that is

00:05:11.470 --> 00:05:14.130
just delete mine back up

00:05:14.130 --> 00:05:15.450
to the space before

00:05:15.450 --> 00:05:17.530
and hit Enter and
now everything

00:05:17.530 --> 00:05:19.290
is perfectly lined up.

00:05:19.290 --> 00:05:23.950
If you want to
check your margins,

00:05:23.950 --> 00:05:26.470
you can just go up
here and click Layout,

00:05:26.470 --> 00:05:29.930
Margins, and see
what's selected,

00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:31.050
normal is selected,

00:05:31.050 --> 00:05:31.770
which is putting

00:05:31.770 --> 00:05:33.590
the one inch
margins all around.

00:05:33.590 --> 00:05:35.210
That's what you want.

00:05:35.210 --> 00:05:37.530
The last thing if
you don't know,

00:05:37.530 --> 00:05:39.710
you'll see this in
another screencast

00:05:39.710 --> 00:05:42.910
is you know in APA format,
you need a header.

00:05:42.910 --> 00:05:43.630
How do you get

00:05:43.630 --> 00:05:46.130
your header and
your page number?

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:50.075
I will show you
real quick.

00:05:50.075 --> 00:05:54.500
If running ahead of
paper is your header,

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:56.300
just double click up

00:05:56.300 --> 00:05:57.240
at the top of the page

00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:58.160
is how I got that

00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.660
and type in, in all
caps what you want.

00:06:01.660 --> 00:06:05.120
Then tab over two spots

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.140
and insert your
page number

00:06:07.140 --> 00:06:09.045
in current position.

00:06:09.045 --> 00:06:12.345
And that's all
you need to do.

00:06:12.345 --> 00:06:14.470
Then double click
anywhere outside of it,

00:06:14.470 --> 00:06:16.230
and now you'll
have a header,

00:06:16.230 --> 00:06:17.350
which you don't need yet,

00:06:17.350 --> 00:06:19.110
but you will
need eventually,

00:06:19.110 --> 00:06:21.370
and you have your fully

00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:23.100
formatted reference page.

00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:26.475
Don't forget to
click File, Save,

00:06:26.475 --> 00:06:28.410
and save it somewhere to

00:06:28.410 --> 00:06:33.190
your computer
so you have it.

00:06:33.190 --> 00:06:37.170
As always, email if you
have any questions.
