Samovar and Porter (1997) point out that "language involves attaching meaning to symbols" (p.188). Alternatively: "Language involves attaching meaning to symbols" (Samovar & Porter, 1997, p.188).
A quotation of 40 or more words should be formatted as a freestanding, indented block of text without quotation marks. Note the location of the final full stop.
Weston (1948) argues that: One of the most important phases of our special guests was to get information that would throw light on degeneration of the facial pattern that occurs so often in our modern civilization. This has its expression in the narrowing and lengthening of the face and the development of crooked teeth. (p. 174)
If you quote from online material and there are no page numbers (e.g. HTML based document), use the paragraph number (para.) instead.
"Prevalence rates of antenatal major and minor depression have been estimated in community-based studies to range from 7% to 15% of all pregnancies" (Grote, Swartz, Geibel & Zuckoff, 2009, para. 2).
b. Indirect quotation/paraphrasing
Attaching meaning to symbols is considered to be the origin of written language (Samovar & Porter, 1997). N.B. Page numbers are optional when paraphrasing, although authors are encouraged to include them, especially when it assists the reader to locate the reference in long pieces of text (Publication Manual, p. 171).
2. References list
At the end of your assignment, you are required to provide the full bibliographic information for each source cited in text. Start the list of References on a new page at the end of your assignment - do not use footnotes (Publication Manual, p. 37) References must be listed in alphabetical order by author. References should use the hanging indent format
e.g. King, M. (2000). Wrestling with the angel: A life of Janet Frame. Auckland, New Zealand: Viking. N.B. If the book is available online, a retrieval statement or DOI is required after (3) Title. Exclude (4) Publication Information. See example.
b. Periodicals
Items published on a regular basis, such as journals, magazines and newspapers, are known as serials or periodicals. Include the same elements as for a book, but exclude the publication information and add the volume, issue and page number(s) instead:
(1) Author(s) (2) Date (3) Title of article (4) Title of Periodical (5) Volume, Issue and Page numbers e.g. Sainaghi, R. (2008). Strategic position and performance of winter destinations. Tourism Review, 63(4), 40-57. N.B. If the article is available online, a retrieval statement or DOI is required after the page numbers. See example.
Include the same elements as for a book, but exclude the publication information and add a retrieval statement in its place.
(1) Author (2) Date (3) Title (4) Retrieval statement e.g. Statistics New Zealand. (2007). New Zealand in profile 2007. Retrieved from http://www.stats.govt.nz N.B. Include a retrieval date if the source material is likely to change over time (Publication Manual, p. 192). See example.
3. Key points
(1)Author(s):
Invert the author(s) name(s), and use initial(s) of first name(s). Use the ampersand (&) between the last two authors' names (also note the full stop and comma after each author's name). Eight or more authors: List first six authors, then insert three elipses (...), followed by the last author (NEW). Corporate / group author: i.e. an organisation, association or government department. If the author's first name is hyphenated, include the hyphen with a full stop after each initial. One author Two authors Three to five authors Brown, W. P. Samovar, L. A., & Porter, R. E. Krause, K.-L., Bochner, S., & Duchesne, S.
Six or seven authors (NEW) Shepherd, R., Barnett, J., Cooper, H., Coyle, A., Moran-Ellis, J., Senior, V., & Walton, C. See example Eight or more authors (NEW) Corporate / group author Chiappini, E., Principi, N., Longhi, R., Tovo, P. A., Becherucci, P., Bonsignori, F., ... de Martino, M. See example Ministry of Education. See example
No author

(2) Date:
The year of publication goes in parentheses ( ) after the author(s). Books and academic journals Magazines and newspapers Monthly Daily, weekly No date In press (1993, June) (1993, June 12) (n.d.) (in press) (1993)
If an author has published more than one item in the same year, add alphabetical characters a, b etc. immediately after the year.
