Supply Chain Management

Business researchers most often use the American Psychological Association (APA) citation style. Check with your instructor. 

Some basic guidelines:

• Attribution - it's okay to use someone else's work, but credit them for it. Even when you don't use a direct quote or paraphrase another's work, if you derive some useful ideas or learn something from your reading, acknowledge that by including a citation in your Works Cited or References list.

• Paraphrase - when you discuss someone's work or ideas in your own words.  Yes, you need to cite the work.

• Direct quotation - using an author's exact words in your paper.

  • Use opening and closing quotation marks ("")
  • ​​A quote of less than 40 words is inserted directly into the text
  • ​A quote of more than 40 words 
    • Indent the quote one-half inch
    • ​​​Do not use quotation marks
    • Double space
    • ​​Exclude extra spacing between the quote and the rest of the text

• Electronic Style Guides - Below are online citations resources. 
• Citation generators- if you have part of the citation (Title, author, journal) in the search box.  Check the results list for you specific citation. Download or copy/paste it.  These sites will also generate an in-text citation.  

Please note:  your citations are only as good as the information you enter. 

Citation Generators

List of citations at the end of your paper/report are:

• Alphabetized by author's last name or by article title if there is no author.
• The title References or Cited References is typed in boldface and centered at the top of the page.
