Guidelines for Citing References without Authors: APA Style 7th Edition506730045085For the purpose of producing citations in the IAE course, students currently only need to be capable of producing citations for sources in which the references have already been provided. In the IAE Midterm Practice Exam and the Spring 2019 IAE Midterm Exam, students will be required to produce (type) citations for sources given source references. Please be sure your students are aware of the following rules for APA Style 7th Edition Citation Format.Reference example:Rain and thunder to cause UAE temperatures to plunge. (2019, February 11). The National. In-Text Citation:(“Rain and,” 2019) or(“Rain and Thunder,” 2019) or(“Rain and Thunder to,” 2019) or(“Rain and Thunder to Cause,” 2019) {All of the above are correct-and would be marked correct in the Blackboard exam}{The first and third citations ending in “and” and “to” are admittedly annoying, and are only meant to illustrate point 2 below}Please note the following style points:1) When using titles in citations, the first few words of the title should be used. The APA style manual does not specifically state how many words should be used except that there should be enough words used so that the reader can easily find the corresponding source in an alphabetized reference list.2) Although only the first word of the title and proper nouns in the title are capitalized in the reference, the first word and any nouns, verbs, linking verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, and any other words of 4 letters or more more) should be capitalized in the title in the citation. Articles, conjunctions and prepositions of 3 letters or fewer should not be capitalized in the citation.3) In the citation, the title should be in quotes, with the closing quote coming after the comma in the citation.4) Only the year of publication is used in the in-text citation, not the full publication date.5) Any extra spaces (for example, a space before the comma) or missing spaces within the citation would be considered incorrect. ................
