APA Papers Most instructors in the social sciences and some instructors in other disciplines will ask you to document your sources with the American Psychological Association APA system of in-text citations and refer- ences described in APA You face three main challenges when writing a social science paper that draws on sources: 1 supporting a thesis, 2 citing your sources and avoiding plagiarism, and 3 integrating quo- tations and other source material.

APA-1 Supporting a thesis Most research assignments ask you to form a thesis, or main idea, and to support that thesis with well-organized evidence. In a paper review- ing the literature on a topic, the thesis analyzes the often competing conclusions drawn by a variety of researchers.

The seventh edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association streamlines and simplifies the process of creating references. In this webinar, members of the APA Style team provide an in-depth look at the simplified reference system, describing the rationale behind it, how to format references using it, and why references are easier because of it.

The panelists answer one of the most frequent questions: how to cite a work found online. They also use real-life examples to walk through creating references for works with missing information; found via a database; needing DOIs, URLs, and retrieval dates; and more. The panelists provide insights into the rationale behind many of the changes and advice for navigating the transition to seventh edition style. They also address how students, faculty, and librarians can incorporate APA Style into the classroom and promote the teaching and mastery of the skills of effective scholarly communication.
