APA Publication Guidelines
What is APA?
American Psychological Association (APA) has created a set of publication guidelines known
as “APA style.” This document provides rules for writing and publishing research materials.
This style is used primarily within the field of social sciences.
Why Should I Use APA?
APA provides standard guidelines for all research papers, reports, and essays. NSU students are
expected to follow accurate APA rules when completing writing assignments. APA ensures
that sources are properly cited, helping to avoid plagiarism.
Where Can I Find More Information?
Further information may be found in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association [APA Manual]. Copies of this manual may be found in the university library or
online at:
www.apastyle.org

The aim of the study was to address the
topic of workplace bullying and to
experience the process of facilitation. A
series of workshops was held to explore
the issue of workplace bullying. The aim
of the facilitation process was to examine
workplace bullying and to create
solutions for better handling and
resolution of the issue. Education,
training, and clear policy-making were
determined to be the three major
categories of solutions that should be
implemented within organizations.

APA Manual
(1) Tables and Figures
APA PAPER
3
The APA Publication Manual separates
non-textual information into two categories:
Tables and Figures.
Remember to introduce tables with a brief
statement that tells the reader what to look for.
Highlight the most important information, but
do not repeat specific facts or statistics that
will be evident to the reader.
Tables [APA—pp. 128-150; 151; 230] are
documents that organize numerical data into
columns and rows.
Table 4
Figures [APA—pp. 150-167; 230] include all
other types of visual
illustrations, photographs, charts, graphs,
diagrams, and drawings.
(2) Guidelines for Inserting Tables and Figures

II. In-Text Citations
Internal (in-text) citation identifies the source of information. It is used to give credit to authors
whose ideas or thoughts are used within the academic paper. Internal citations allow the reader
to identify the source and find the borrowed information within it.
1. Plagiarism [APA—pp. 15-16]
Plagiarism is the improper use of another person’s words or ideas. Plagiarism includes quoting
someone’s words without giving them credit, stealing someone’s idea, and paying someone to
write your paper. Regardless of whether the plagiarism is intentional or not, it is a serious
academic offense. In order to avoid plagiarism, cite all sources used in research.
Sources May Include the Following:
Books
Magazines / journals / newspaper articles
Database articles
Films
Television programs
Radio documentaries
Websites
Blogs
Internet bulletin boards / forums
E-mails
Encyclopedias
Personal Communications
2. Paraphrasing [APA—pp. 170-174]
Paraphrasing is stating the original material in your own words. Changing a few words in an
otherwise untouched quote does not constitute paraphrasing. In order to paraphrase
effectively, the information must be re-stated in a new way. Therefore, successful paraphrasing
occurs when you are able to maintain the intended meaning of the original source without
copying the words or sentence structure.
Tip: Read the information to be paraphrased, then close the book/
turn off the computer. Make sure you understood the information;
then, restate it in your own words. Go back and check for accuracy.
Doing this helps prevent you from copying words or sentence
structure, which may constitute plagiarism.
10
APA Manual
Example:
Read the original passage below and compare it with the paraphrased versions.
Original Passage
“Adult learning research helps to explain why
immersion is so important” (Hewett & Ehmann,
2004, p. 11).
Unacceptable Paraphrasing Research in adult learning assists us in explaining
why immersion is so important.
Acceptable Paraphrasing
According to Hewett and Ehmann (2004), current
research gives insight into why immersion is a
valuable aspect of adult learning.
Paraphrases must be cited with the name of the author and the year of publication of the
original source. Citing the page number is optional.
Current research provides insight into why immersion is a valuable aspect of adult
learning (Hewett & Ehmann, 2004).
OR
According to Hewett and Ehmann (2004), current research provides insight into why
immersion is a valuable aspect of adult learning.
Personal communications (e-mail messages, instant messages, text messages, online chats,
class lectures, and personal or telephone interviews) should be paraphrased. For information
on citing personal communications, see Quoting Personal Communications on p. 14.
3. Quoting Directly [APA—pp. 170-171]
Direct quotes use the language of the original author word for word.
Use quotation marks around all borrowed words, phrases, or sentences.
Cite the author's name, date, and page number.
When no author is available, use document title (if the piece is written by a random
individual) or an organization name (if the piece is presented by an organization).
When no page number is available, use a paragraph symbol (¶) or abbreviation “para.”
If the text is divided into titled sections, rather than paragraphs, use section title with
para. 1.
According to Alzeimer’s Association (2007), patients “progress through several stages of
the disease” (Symptoms, para. 1).
APA Manual
11
There are two types of direct quotes:
a. Regular quotes
b. Block quotes
a. Regular Quotes [APA—p. 171]
Regular quotes are used when the quote is less than 40 words (short).
Introduce the author. Keep year
and author’s name together.
Use quotation marks to identify the
words of the author.
Diana Hacker (2003) writes, "To show readers that you are using a source’s exact phrases or
sentences, you must enclose them in quotation marks” (p. 384).
Include the page number
in parentheses.
Place a period after the
parentheses.
Note: 40 words equal approximately three lines of text. Quotes that are longer than three lines
should be presented as a block quote.
b. Block Quotes [APA –p. 171]
Block quotes are used when quoting more than 40 words.
Indent the block quote five spaces.
Do not put quotation marks around the block quote. Use quotation marks to identify
quoted material within the block quote.
Double-space the block quote.
Do not include any additional lines or spaces before or after the block quote.
The following explains Diana Hacker’s view of plagiarism:
You are guilty of the academic offense known as plagiarism if you half-copy the
author’s sentences—either by mixing the author’s phrases with your own without
using quotation marks or by plugging your synonyms into the author’s sentence
structure. To prevent unintentional borrowing, resist the temptation to look at the
source as you take notes—except when you are quoting. (Hacker, 2003, pp. 116117)
In block quotes, the period is
placed before the citation.
12
APA Manual
4. Citation Placement [APA—pp. 174-179]
a. Citations within Paraphrased Information
Beginning of sentence
Palmacci (2007) argues that the curriculum is diverse.
Middle of sentence
After thoroughly researching the program, Palmacci (2007) concluded that the
curriculum is diverse.
End of sentence
The study found that the curriculum is very diverse (Palmacci, 2007).
b. Citations within Direct Quotes
Beginning of sentence
Palmacci (2007) states that “the curriculum is diverse with courses offered in poetry,
teaching writing, and travel writing” (p. 52).
Middle of sentence
According to Palmacci (2007), "the curriculum is diverse with courses offered in
poetry, teaching writing, and travel writing” (p. 52).
End of sentence
Research reveals that "the curriculum is diverse with courses offered in poetry,
teaching writing, and travel writing” (Palmacci, 2007, p. 52).
c. Multiple Citations by the Same Author
When citing information from the same author more than once within the
same paragraph, list author’s name only in the first citation. All subsequent
citations should simply list the page number.
5. Multiple Authors (Same Source)
When citing work written by more than one author, the following rules apply:
One author
(Smith, 2002)
Two authors
(Smith & Jones, 2001)
Three to five authors
(first mention)
(Smith, Jones, Williams, & Torrington, 1983)
(following mentions)
(Smith et al., 1983)
Six or more authors
(Smith et al., 1983)
APA Manual
13
6. Multiple Authors (Different Sources)
Different sources may be cited when referring to several studies on the same topic.
List authors by last name in alphabetical order within the same parentheses.
Separate names with semicolons.
Studies show that obese children are at risk of diabetes (Alberts, 1999; Peterson, 2003;
Smith, 2008).
7. No Authors
When no author is available, use document title (if the piece is written by an individual)
or an organization name (if the piece is presented by an organization).
Italicize titles of books and periodicals. Enclose titles of articles and chapters in
quotations marks. Capitalize every word.
Stress impacts one’s ability to perform work functions (“Why Can’t I Concentrate,” 2009).
Studies show that obese children are at risk of diabetes (National Health Association,
2008).
8. Quoting a Secondary Source [APA—p. 178]
Sources fall into one of two categories: primary and secondary.
If the author of the source you are using generated the information to be cited, the
source is primary.
If the author of the source you are using borrowed the information to be cited, the
source is secondary.
When citing from a secondary source, it is important to cite the original author (primary
source), as well as identify the text where the quote was found.
a. Within Text
cite the primary source without the year of publication;
place the words “as cited in” and the citation for the secondary source in
parentheses.
b. In the References List
cite the secondary source.
Primary source
Secondary source introduced by
the phrase “as cited in…”
According to Presley, Meilman, and Lyerla (as cited in Levine & Cureton, 1998), marijuana
is used by almost a quarter of the college population.
14
APA Manual
9. Quoting Personal Communications [APA—p. 179]
Personal communications include e-mail messages, private letters, instant messages, text
messages, online chats, class lectures, and personal or telephone interviews.
When quoting a personal communication, include the words “personal
communication” into the citation.
The format of the citation is the same whether the information is directly
quoted or paraphrased.
The information from personal communications cannot be recovered by
other researchers. Therefore, it should not be listed in the reference section.
According to J. Smith (personal communication, April 5, 2008), Nova Southeastern
University is a great place to work.
Nova Southeastern University offers many student services (J. Smith, personal communication, April 5, 2008).
10. Modifying Direct Quotes[APA—p. 172-173]
a. Removing Text
When omitting unimportant information from the beginning or middle of a quote,
use an ellipsis (three periods with a space between each one) to indicate where the
information has been removed.
When omitting words from the end of a quote, put the period at the end of the sentence followed by the ellipsis (four dots altogether).
b. Adding Text
When adding your own words to a quote, put the words in brackets.
Ellipsis in the middle of a sentence.
Words added to the quote.
According to The new St. Martin’s handbook (1999), “as you choose which sources to
use, . . . you may reevaluate the decisions [about which research material to use]. For
example, you may decide to summarize in your essay. . . . To avoid plagiarizing, document any source material you do include with a citation within your text and an entry in
your list of sources” (p. 505).
Ellipsis at the end of a sentence.
APA Manual
15
III. References [APA—pp. 193-224]
A references page provides bibliographic information about the sources used in the academic
paper. It allows the reader to locate specific sources within the body of research.
1. General Guidelines
The references page appears at the end of the document before appendices.
The references should appear on a separate page.
The word “References” should be centered at the top of the page.
The list of references should account for all in-text citations.
All entries must be alphabetized by author’s last name (or organization name, in the
absence of the author).
The list must be double-spaced.
All entries must be placed with a hanging indent, so that the first line is flushed left and
subsequent lines are indented.
STUDY SKILLS
6
Tip: Use the hanging indent function
to create a hanging indent. This way,
all reference entries will
automatically be indented.
The abbreviation (n.d.) needs to be used in
the absence of a date.
Titles of books, magazines, and journals are
italicized.
Only proper nouns, the first words of titles,
and the first words after a colon in a title are
capitalized.

2. Document Identification System [APA—p. 188-192]
Documents can be identified in one of three ways — with a DOI (for all sources), with
publisher information (for printed books when DOI is not available), and a URL (for all
online resources, when DOI is not available).
DOI (digital object identifier) is an alphanumeric string of characters that can be found
near the copyright information. If DOI is available, provide it for both printed and
electronic sources.
16
APA Manual
DOI and URL appear at the end of the reference entry. Do not place a period after either
one.
URL (uniform resource locator) is the internet address of the source. Provide it for
electronic source only when the DOI is not available. For periodicals, provide the
address of the journal home page.
To find any document using DOI, type in the following in the address window: http://
dx.doi.org/[your doi number]
3. Referencing Books and Sections of Books
Book citations have the following pattern:
Author. (Year). Title of the book. Location: Publisher. (if DOI is not available)
Author. (Year). Title of the book. doi: 10.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (if DOI is available)
Pay close attention
to punctuation when
referencing sources
Book (one author) [APA—p. 202]
List the last name of the author, followed by his or her initial.
You may list only one initial or two (for first and middle names).

If there is more than one edition of the book, the edition must be indicated after the title of
the book.
When an edition is listed, the period is placed after the parentheses instead of the title.
If a DOI is available, use it instead of the publishing information.

Abstract
Dispute Systems Design (DSD) is a widely used method of conflict management. This paper outlines a system developed for Sample College, a postsecondary college in New York that does not currently utilize a conflict resolution or management system. After an analysis of all components of the institution, a dispute system was designed to address how conflicts are to be addressed and prevented. Recommendations specifically address communication

Dispute Systems Design in Conflict Resolution
The field of conflict resolution can still be said to be in its infancy. Over
the past 60 years, there has been an increase in the number of theories and
practical applications of conflict resolution methodologies in a variety of social contexts such as organizational relationships. Managing disputes has
become a major focus of conflict resolution as organizations cope with increased cultural diversity, employees retiring from the workforce and costs
associated with litigation. They also deal with a decrease in the number of
qualified employees entering the workforce (Conbere, 2001) . Practitioners
look at the whole system of interactions within an organization. Dispute Sys-

Literature Review
Social conflict has been a subject of extensive studies (Senechal de la
Roche, 1996; Borrero, 2001; Cramer, 2003). Nonetheless, the research has
been somewhat lopsided in that social scientists primarily investigate conflicts
which result in group violence. Collective violence received so much attention because it is immediately apparent and much more easily studied. However, is only one of the ways that social conflicts can be solved. Conflicts are
generally approached in three ways – through contention, yielding, or problem-solving (Rubin, Pruitt, & Kim, 1994; Uri, Brett, & Goldberg, 1998). . . .
Social scientists agree that individuals and groups often employ extreme
forms of contention to rectify what they perceive as injustice. Senechal de la
Roche (1996) calls it a “form of self-help”. She names four types of group

The type of violence more likely to occur can be determined by the degree of social polarization and the continuity of the unjust negative behavior.
Senechal de la Roche (1996) claims that when “those in conflict are relationally and culturally extremely distant, have little or no interdependence, and
differ sharply in status” (p. 116). . . .
Inequality, as one of the variables leading to group violence, has received
separate attention. Many studies have focused on various types of inequality
in an effort to predict its effects on group behavior. Cramer (2003) proposes
that the type of existing inequality has a much greater impact on conflict than
its extent (p. 397). . . .
Other studies look at the historically existing structural inequality as a
determinant of violent behavior. Caldwell et al. (2004) and Anderson, Dyson
and Grandison (1998) suggest that when certain sectors of the population experience continual structural inequality, group violence is likely to be perpetrated as a response to historic oppression. . . .

mation was used to create a dispute resolution system that could be applied to
the organization’s unique mission, culture, and environment.
Assessment
Organizational assessment is required when designing a dispute resolution system. Two methods will be combined when examining the organizational resolution system at Sample. The first method, proposed by Costantino
and Merchant (1996), outlines the process in four steps:
Organization (what does the organization do, and what is its mission?)
Disputes (what types of disputes are most prevalent?)
Resolution methods (what methods are employed to address disputes?)
Results (what are the outcomes of current resolution practices?)
The second method is proposed by Ury, Brett and Goldberg (1988), who
break down the process into three sections—disputes, resolution methods and
rationale. The rationale section asks why certain resolution methods are employed instead of others. A combination of the two methods will be used to
assess the case. . . .

Results
While some conflicts may be satisfactorily resolved by the Dean or a
faculty member, most parties feel that long-standing disputes have not been
adequately resolved. Because administrators are unwilling to meet with students, students do not feel that their concerns are addressed.

Discussion
In designing a dispute resolution system, the characteristics of The
Sample College were taken into account. As discussed earlier, Ury, Brett and
Goldberg (1988) propose six principles of dispute system design. The first of
these is placing the focus on interests, which can be accomplished through
procedures, motivation, skills, and resources (p. 42). Focusing on interests
means providing a number of methods that allow parties to resolve conflicts
before they are escalated to the level of rights and power.
Assessment of the organization drew attention to several important
issues. First, the college deals with a very specific population of clients and
staff who demonstrate a deep-rooted conflict over the organization’s mission
and how to accomplish it effectively. Second, Sample’s centralized decisionmaking prevents effective conflict management because conflicts are not resolved on the basis of interests. . . .

Conclusion
The Sample College should address disputes as early as possible by
establishing procedures for initial negotiation. One way of dealing with
student grievances would be for administrators to discuss issues directly
with students. Establishing an ombudsman and communicating to staff
and students that participation in constructive discussions is encouraged,
will also help to eliminate retaliation. In addition, all staff should be
trained in communication and mediation/negotiation, and peer mediators
should be established. Forums should be set up to discuss on-going workrelated issues and procedures should be set in order to implement faculty/
staff suggestions.
According to Rowe (1997), an effective dispute resolution system
“provides ‘problem-solving’ options based on the interests of the disputants, and ‘justice’ options based on rights and power” (p. 84). The recommendations presented in this case focused on creating options that addressed parties’ interests and built in preventative measures that would
eliminate unnecessary conflict .
