These referencing styles will be used on the Psychology Wiki. Be familiar with them as they will help the project to be consistent in both style, content and academic references.

[edit] Example Reference

[edit] Basic Referencing:

If you are a beginner to Wiki editing, then please enter references in APA style (see below), just as you would do in an essay.

Adding a * will make a bullet point to indent you reference on a list.

Adding two of these ' to either side of the ''publication name'' will make it italicized.

For example:

• Henriques, Gregg (2003) The Tree of Knowledge System and the Theoretical Unification of Psychology. Review of General Psychology, Vol. 7, No. 2, 150-182.

[edit] Advanced Referencing

If you are used to Wikis, try to add links to the Author, Publication and if possible an external link to the fulltext version of the paper.

Using [[ ]] for internal links and [ ] for external links is all you need to do.

The following text on the line below needs to be entered on a page being edited:

• * [[Gregg_Henriques|Henriques, Gregg]] (2003) [[Henriques, Gregg (2003)|The Tree of Knowledge System and the Theoretical Unification of Psychology]]. ''[[Review of General Psychology]]'', Vol. 7, No. 2, 150-182. [http://psychweb.cisat.jmu.edu/ToKSystem/Tok%20System/unified%20theory.pdf Fulltext].

(copy the text from THIS page rather than the edit page)

The above text will appear on the page like this:

• Henriques, Gregg (2003) The Tree of Knowledge System and the Theoretical Unification of Psychology. Review of General Psychology, Vol. 7, No. 2, 150-182. Fulltext.

• The highlighted links in the above reference work like this:

1) The authors name Henriques, Gregg links to a page about the author.

2) The papers name The Tree of Knowledge System and the Theoretical Unification of Psychology links to a page discussing the paper, which by convention is the authors surname, firstname and the year of publication.

3) The publication name Review of General Psychology leads to a page about the publication

4) The fulltext link Fulltext leads to a .pdf version of the full paper. These are generally kept off-site at the moment.
