Citing Your Research

Keep track of your sources as you go. Having to backtrack to relocate a source can be time-consuming and frustrating

Examples

While the APA guide has many examples of references, it does not cover all resources. Some business sources such as Statistics Canada statistics and NAICS codes are not covered in the manual. In cases where you are not able to find an exact match to follow use the basic foundation of Who. (When). What. Where to get your reader to your source.

Here are some examples of sources you might be using from this guide. Because these are not 'traditional' sources that are listed in the APA manual, there could be variations on how you might format them:

TIP: check at the bottom of Stat Can pages as there will often be a line on how to cite the page- they will not be formatted in APA, however you could start with the citation provided to create an APA citation with the author, date, title, etc.
