Tip: This page is the shortcut to learning how to create in-text citations and reference lists using the SHHS modified version of APA 7th referencing for assessment tasks. If you want to read more in-depth explanations we highly recommend that you start by reading the introduction to Referencing page, then read the Creating In-Text Citations, and then the Creating a Reference List page.
At SHHS the style of referencing we use is a simplified version of APA 7th. This 'style guide' describes what information you need to include in your reference, and how to organise it.
An in-text citation is a way of acknowledging when you have quoted someone or incorporated their ideas in your writing (paraphrasing).
A reference is a formal way of identifying exactly where your in-text citations have come from. A reference is listed at the end of your essay or assignment in a reference list.
