The Impact of IT on Healthcare Costs

/in /by

Introduction
The Skinner School of Business and Technology follows APA writing style
requirements, which is the standard for academic business writing. 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.
For some assignments, particularly electronic postings, the professor may allow for
the simple posting of text for the content but still require the use of APA citation and
references for cited material. This standard is referred to as “APA citation and
reference only.”

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.
