The SSBT has modified and simplified these requirements as listed below. There are two sections. The first section is used for regular, written assignments (papers) turned in on paper, word.doc, or PDF. The second section is related to citations and references.

Citation and Reference Requirements Introduction Citations are used to give credit for intellectual material used by others through paraphrase and/or direct quotations. Academic plagiarism, which is a major offense, occurs when material is not properly cited and referenced. Citations and References APA uses simple, in-text citations and does not use footnotes or endnotes like other systems. Here is an example of an in-text citation and the accompanying reference that would be at the end of the paper or posting: Citation Kotter (2012) suggests that most operational teams do not have the capacity or expertise to develop strong strategic processes. Reference Kotter, J. (2012). Accelerate! Harvard Business Review, 90(11), 43–58. Here is an example of a citation and reference for a quotation. Remember, you must include the page number with a quotation. Citation In this day and age, there are more and more discussions of the triple bottom line. Savitz (2006) writes that “examining how companies can become more profitable by doing the right thing” (p. xii). Therefore, the triple bottom line seeks to leverage the three pillars of people, planet, and profits. Reference Savitz, A. (2006). The triple bottom line. San Francisco: Jossey Bass. Reference Examples Remember that like all APA pages, references are double-spaced and have a halfinch hanging indent. For books (title italicized, only first letter of title is capitalized, city included): Savitz, A. (2006). The triple bottom line. San Francisco: Jossey Bass. For articles (Only publication and volume number is italicized) Kotter, J. (2012). Accelerate! Harvard Business Review, 90(11), 43–58.
