APA Toolkit

The APA Toolkit has been designed to provide tools you can use to help you understand and format citations in APA format. Please contact your instructor for guidance if you have a specific question about a citation or formatting your paper.

What is APA format?

The American Psychological Association (APA) writing style is a formatting and citation standard for publications, papers, essays, and books. It is the primary writing style required for University of Phoenix assignments. The university currently uses the 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual.

Why do I need to cite my sources?

Whenever you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to the work of another, you must cite the source of the information. Using citations gives credit to the ideas, words, and thoughts of others you use in your paper.

• Increase your credibility and reinforce your arguments.
• Allow your readers to verify your research.
• Strengthen your arguments by introducing evidence.
• Give proper credit to other authors.

In addition, citing the works of others allows you to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is using another person's work, words, or ideas without attribution. Plagiarism falls into three main categories:

• Using information from a source without citing it.
• Using the language from a source without quoting it.
• Paraphrasing sources too close to the original language.

Plagiarism is highly unethical and, in many cases, can have severe consequences beyond reducing your credibility as an author or researcher. For more information about plagiarism, see the university's plagiarism tutorial .

Tools and Resources

• APA Style Use APA Style to review reference examples , tutorials (we recommend the Basics of Seventh Edition APA Style tutorial), and grammar guidelines that can assist you with citing your resources in APA format. The site also has a blog , often containing information on usual references (e.g., untitled music albums), in-depth explanations about APA style, and updates to existing style guidelines.
• Center for Writing Excellence Use the Center for Writing Excellence to find paper templates and the university's writing and style guidelines, among other writing assistance.

Citation Generators

Citation generators create citations for a single resource. Please note that there are no perfect citation generators. They are designed to take the information you enter and generate a citation based on the citation type you select. They will not correct spelling errors or find the information you may have omitted, but they will save you time by formatting your references close to the citation style you select. You should always double-check your references in the APA Style manual or on the APA Style website.

• RefWorks Citation Manager RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) is an add-on tool that allows you to insert and edit citations from your RefWorks library directly in Microsoft Word. To add this plug-in to Word, open a document, click Insert , then Get Add-ins . Enter RCM in the search box, and select Add next to the entry for RefWorks Citation Manager. See RefWorks' video tutorials  RefWorks Citation Manager (04:54) and  Writing with RefWorks (06:51) for assistance with its citation manager.
• Library Databases Most library databases offer a citation tool to generate a single citation for you. Look for a cite button or link on the abstract page of a selected resource to produce a citation.
• Reference and Citation Generator The university's Reference and Citation Generator will generate a single citation after you select your resource type and enter the information in the fields it provides.
• Microsoft Word Citation Tool Microsoft Word offers a feature to add a citation and create a bibliography within a document. See the Microsoft Word Citations help document for more information on adding citations to your papers.

Commonly Used Terms

Citing: Acknowledging the sources of your information and ideas.

In-Text Citation: A brief reference in the body of the essay or paper that indicates you are using another source. An in-text citation should always match more detailed information in the reference list.

Paraphrasing: Taking the information you have read and putting it into your own words. Paraphrasing should always include a citation.

Quoting: Also called direct quote. The copying of exact words or phrases of text from another source. Quotes should be placed in quotation marks.

Reference: Details about one cited source.

Reference List: A list of all sources cited in your essay or paper, which gives the reader all the information they need to locate the source.

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies Holds Third Annual Colloquium Supporting Doctoral Students

Doctoral Journey Colloquium brings together students, faculty and facilitates networking and support opportunities

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies hosted an in-person Doctoral Journey Colloquium April 19-20 on the university campus in Phoenix, Arizona, in an event supporting doctoral students’ studies and networking, as part of the College’s integrated approach for doctoral student success.

“We design our colloquium to support our doctoral students on their educational journey,” states Hinrich Eylers, Ph.D., P.E., vice provost of the College of Doctoral Studies. “We build each event responsive to feedback on the ones prior, enhancing opportunities for connection, networking and empowerment. This was the best and most highly attended colloquium so far.”

Networking receptions opened and concluded the event. There were 71 students, alumni, and faculty members in attendance, from the areas of Business/Management, Education, and Healthcare, as well as 33 staff and speakers. College administrators, staff, and faculty supported the event with interactive workshops and panels that stimulated deeper thought and provided valuable insights for students' doctoral progression.

The Colloquium is an essential component of the College’s Doctoral ecosystem and is intended to:

• Provide additional support to students and alumni
• Share updates, resources, and information
• Build life-long relationships between students, alumni, and CDS
• Create networking opportunities to strengthen the College’s doctoral community
• Identify opportunities to improve programs and student/alumni support systems.

Throughout the event, participants had opportunities to engage with students from across practitioner doctoral programs, phases, and experiences and network with alumni.

Freda Ascenia Richards, a doctoral student enrolled in the Doctorate of Management program, and manager, Digital Campaigns at University of Phoenix, attended and found inspiration in connecting with her faculty, peers and mentors. “It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with other doctoral students, exchange experiences, and gain insights into their plans for moving forward. Dr. Kimberly Underwood’s reference to the attendees as ‘all future doctors’ was a pivotal moment for me, as it helped me realize that my aspirations are attainable and that I am on track to achieve them,” she shared.

This year, the College conducted multiple blind reviews for a Call for Proposals to present at the 2024 CDS Doctoral Journey Colloquium and accepted three proposals:

• Antoinette Dziedzic, Ph.D., Doctoral Instructor, Dissertation Chair, Healthcare Program; presentation, Mind-Mapping Your Way Through the Dissertation
• Mark McCaslin, Ph.D., Doctoral Instructor, University Research Methodologist; presentation, Research Alignment in Qualitative Research Design
• James Lane, Ed.D., Doctoral Instructor, ACCESS and Panel Validator; presentation, Clear Windows or Clouded Lenses? Viewing Data Through Ethical Frames .

“We were excited to share this unique opportunity as part of our commitment to fostering collaboration and professional growth,” states Shawn Todd-Boone, Ed.D., associate dean, ACCESS, Research and Residency. “The proposals were informed by instructors’ years of experience teaching working adult learners and the subsequent presentations were built to address concerns and empower doctoral students on their journey.”

The College is already planning the 2025 colloquium, as well as an interim virtual version.

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies Highlights Scholarship Published by Working Adult Students and Graduates

Scholarship successes reflect experience provided by dissertation to publication workshop and other support offered through mentoring, sessions and workshops held by leaders, academic counseling, career advising and on-demand resources

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies is pleased to highlight the published scholarship of its working adult learners and alumni. In 2023, 44 doctoral graduates along with their faculty from University of Phoenix reported the publication of 26 articles in peer-reviewed journals. The published articles were developed based on the authors’ doctoral dissertations and crafted during the College’s Dissertation to Publication workshop, showcasing the impact of the workshop and the potential of hard work and dedication in achieving one's goals.

“While we have a practitioner focus, scholarship is a critical measure of success for students and faculty alike, as an opportunity to influence communities of practice and increase awareness of their contributions to industries,” states Hinrich Eylers, Ph.D., P.E., vice provost, College of Doctoral Studies.

The College supports a dissertation to publication pathway through its suite of support services for students in practitioner doctorate programs, including its annual series, Dissertation to Publication Workshop , led by Mansureh Kebritchi, Ph.D., chair, Center for Educational and Information Technology Research (CEITR). The workshop is a four-month web-based workshop that teaches the art of developing a publishable manuscript based on a dissertation and supports the participants in submitting their manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals. The workshop focuses on the process and the finished product – a publishable manuscript.

“Our doctoral students are leaders in their chosen fields, and their dissertation reflects years of work at the doctoral level as well as deep understanding of their fields,” Kebritchi shares. “It is important that their efforts have the opportunity through scholarship, as well as through practice, to influence knowledge and understanding.”

Operating from the Scholar, Practitioner, Leader Model, the College places students in the center of the Doctoral Education Ecosystem® with experts, resources, and tools to help them prepare to be a leader in their organization, industry, and community, including a recently expanded Alumni Mentor Program designed to connect current doctoral students with College alumni.

Melissa Shank, Ed.D., a 2020 doctoral graduate who served as a fellow in CEITR, had a second article based on dissertation findings published, “Novice teachers’ training and support needs in evidence-based classroom management,” published in a 2023 issue of the journal, Preventing School Failure: Alternative Education for Children and Youth . “I felt it was important to get my research out in a format that was usable and readable, so I took the workshop led by Dr. Kebritchi,” she shared. Shank found that the workshop helped break the academic publication process down into achievable steps, and she was inspired to aim high: “I was very excited as my first-choice journal accepted my article, which inspired me to write additional articles based on my research findings.”

Lucinda Hines, DHA, MBA, associate faculty in the College of Health Professions, was a doctoral graduate in August 2022 and had her article, “Educating patients on value-based health care to improve clinical outcome,” published in a 2023 edition of Management in Healthcare : “When I learned my manuscript had been accepted, I immediately called my family and closest friends to share the news.”

Hines found the workshop motivating, sharing that, “The weekly briefings were informative and provided the tools and techniques necessary to assist attendees with publishing their dissertations.” She feels that being published helped validate her research and the importance of her work in healthcare and bolstered her future plans: “Being published has expanded my network and visibility within the academic community, paving the way for future scholarly endeavors.”

In addition to dissertation to publication support, the College offers a Research to Publication Workshop focusing on turning a research project into a publishable manuscript. Led by Kebritchi, this and the Dissertation to Publication workshops are both also open to external registrants unaffiliated with the University.

College leadership organizes a series of sessions in several areas of support. Kebritchi also leads the Research Methodology Group each year that provides a forum and community for students to polish their research skills. Kimberly Underwood, Ph.D., chair, Center for Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Research (CWDIR), leads a formal Writing Support team of seven faculty members that opens with participants engaging in Socratic dialogue to generate critical thinking and behaviors needed to successfully progress through each stage of the doctoral journey.

Faculty at College of Doctoral Studies offer both academic credentials and industry experience to the students they serve, with an average of 27.7 years of professional experience and 12.2 years of teaching experience with University of Phoenix. Professional experience of College faculty include that of chief executives, presidents, consultants, executive directors, and principals.
