APA 7th Edition Citation and Referencing

The APA 7th Edition Citation and Referencing course aims to develop learners' knowledge and understanding of academic citation and reference list preparation based on the seventh edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), a widely used referencing style in academic writing and research.

The course introduces the fundamentals of bibliographic formats, in-text citations, and reference list preparation. Learners will gain an understanding of the essential components and conventions of academic referencing.

In addition, the course covers the use of reference management software to support the organization of reference sources and the systematic preparation of bibliographies and reference lists. These skills can help improve efficiency in preparing academic reports, scholarly documents, and research papers.

The course consists of four video-based lessons, a post-course knowledge assessment, and a course evaluation, allowing learners to study independently and assess their understanding.

The course consists of four chapters:

1. Chapter 1: Introduction to Bibliographic Formats

2. Chapter 2: In-text Citations

3. Chapter 3: Reference List Preparation

4. Chapter 4: Reference Management Software

Course Completion Requirements

Learners must achieve a score of at least 80% on the post-course assessment to meet the course's passing requirements.
