It should be noted that different academic disciplines within the University may use different referencing conventions. For example, Humanities disciplines will generally follow MLA Style (Modern Language Association) or MHRA Style (Modern Humanities Research Association).
These Guidelines have been developed on the basis of the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association
(2001) (5th edition). Readers are directed to specific pages of that manual for further detail and/or explanation. Please note that these Guidelines are no substitute for the 439 page APA Manual itself.
