It can be difficult to cite a conference paper.You cite it as a speech or oral presentation if it's unpublished.You can cite it like a section of a book or journal article if it is published.Put in the author's name, title, and conference information if you want to cite a conference paper.
Step 1: The author's last name and initials are what you should begin with.
The author's last name is listed first, followed by a colon and their initials.If you join multiple authors, you'll get an ampersand.Alternatively, use this for multiple authors, listed in the order they're listed on the paper: Roberts, H. A, Jacobs, R., & Johnson, P.
Step 2: The month and year are added in parentheses.
The author's date is always in APA style.When writing a conference paper, you should include the month of the conference.The parentheses have a period.The example will look like this: Roberts, H. A.In February.
Step 3: Next, put in the paper's name.
The name should be put in italics.The first letter of the word after a colon is capitalized in sentence style.You could write: Roberts, H. A.February.The study looked at feline behavior in domestic settings.The title should end with a period.
Step 4: A description of the paper and conference is needed.
"Paper presented at" is what you should start with.You can follow it with either the conference name or the meeting name.You could write: Roberts, H.A.In February.The study looked at feline behavior in domestic settings.The paper was presented at the conference.If the conference doesn't have a name, you could write: Roberts, H.A.February.A study of feline behavior in domestic settings.The paper was presented at the meeting.
Step 5: If the paper is published add in publication information.
The paper should be treated like an essay published in a book, because that's what it is.The abbreviation "Eds" should be added after the title of the paper.The name of the book.The page numbers of the article can be added.#-#There is a publication city, a colon, and a publishing agency to follow.You could write: Roberts, H. A.In February.The study looked at feline behavior in domestic settings.In P. R. Smith and J.B. Davis.The proceedings of the Animal Behavior Association on animal behavior were published.20-49)Houston, Texas is home to the Animal Behavior Association.If the paper is online, you can write "Retrieved from URL" instead of the publisher and the city.
Step 6: An in-text citation can be created.
The author's name is followed by the date in parentheses.If the paper has the page number, add it in parentheses at the end of the sentence.If the source has direct quotes, use page numbers with them.Place the author's name and date at the end of the sentence.The page number doesn't have to be used when you're paraphrasing.If you want to introduce a sentence with the citation, try writing something like this: "Cats exhibit behavior that is similar to their wild cousins."Cats present behavior that is remarkably similar to their larger brethren, so add it at the end of a paraphrased sentence.
Step 7: The author's first name should be followed by their last name.
The author's last name is followed by a comma.The author's first name should be followed by a period.You can write: Roberts, Henrietta.If you are writing for more than one author, place them in order of appearance in the book, and only use the last name of the first author.
Step 8: The paper title should be added after the author's name.
Title capitalization means you use important words instead of just the first word in the title.Unless they are the first or last word of the title or are directly before or after a colon, don't use conjunctions.The title should have quotation marks on it.You can write: Roberts, Henrietta.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior.
Step 9: The conference or meeting title should be put next to the date.
It's best to be specific about the conference or meeting.In that order, include the day, month and year.Follow it with a sentence.Your citation will look like this.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior in domestic settings.If the conference does not have a specific name, use the name of the group, such as the following: Roberts, Henrietta.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior.The meeting of the animal behavior association was held in February.
Step 10: Add the venue and organization.
The University of Denver is an example of the organization and venue being the same.If it is different, separate it out.Don't end with a bang.The citation will now look like this: Roberts, Henrietta.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior.The conference was held at the Mountain View Hotel in Denver.If it's in the name of the venue, you don't have to add the city name.
Step 11: At the end of the citation, place the type of presentation.
You need to specify that this is a conference paper because this citation can be used for speeches and oral presentations.Follow it for a period.The citation looks like this: Roberts, Henrietta.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior.The conference was held at the Mountain View Hotel in Denver.The paper is for a conference.
Step 12: If the paper is published, you shouldCite it like an article in a book or online.
The conference title should be written after the author's name and title.The editors, publisher, and date should be added.The citation will change to look like this.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior in domestic settings.The conference was edited by Pearl Smith and Jane Davis.The University of Denver is the publisher.
Step 13: An in-text citation can be created.
The author's name should be at the beginning or end of the sentence.The author's last name page # should be added in the parentheses if the paper has page numbers.Roberts states that cats exhibit behavior that is similar to their wild cousins.If you want to add it at the end of a sentence, try this: Cats present behavior that is remarkably similar to their larger brethren.
Step 14: The author's first name should be followed by their last name.
Add their first name after the author's last name.There is a period after the first name.The citation begins with Roberts, Henrietta.In the order they appear in the text, list them.The author's last name should be used first with the first author.
Step 15: The paper's title should be added in quotation marks.
Title capitalization means you capitalized the most important words, not just the first word.Prepositions or conjunctions should not be capitalized unless they are the first or last word of the title or the colon.At the end of the title, put a period.The citation looks like this: Roberts, Henrietta.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior.
Step 16: Information about the conference, location, and date should be put in.
The name of the conference, the location, and the date are all separated by commas.The citation should look like this now: Roberts, Henrietta.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior in domestic settings.The paper was presented at the animal behavior conference.If the meeting doesn't have a name, use the name of the organization.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior.The paper was presented at the meeting.
Step 17: The conference paper should be treated like a book or journal article.
Add the book title, the editors, and the page numbers to the published proceedings as a book.Put the city of publication, a colon, and the date at the end.The endnote would look like this: Roberts, Henrietta.Cats and Their Antics is a study of feline behavior.In Animal Behavior was edited by Pearl Smith and Jane Davis.The University of Denver is located in Denver.
Step 18: Your endnote can be turned into a footnote.
footnotes are typically used with Chicago style.You can place a citation at the end of the sentence.There will be a place for a corresponding footnote at the bottom of the page with your word-processing software.The footnote will look the same as the endnote, but some of the writing will change.The paper "Cats and Their Antics: A Study of Feline Behavior in Domestic Setting" was presented at the Animal Behavior Conference in Denver, Colorado.You place the conference information in parentheses when you switch most of the periods out.The author's first and last names should not be reversed.The paper is titled "Cats and Their Antics: A Study of Feline Behavior in Domestic Settings."The University of Denver has a book on Pearl Smith and Jane Davis.
