Assignment 8

Scholarly Journal
Hammersley, Richard and Leon, Vicki, Addiction Research and Theory; Apr 2006, Vol. 14 Issue 2, p189-205 17p, 3 charts 4 graphs.

Popular Magazine
Rosenber Herold et al, Drug: Education, prevention and policy; Aug 2008, Vol. 15 issue 4, page 365-377 13p, 6charts.
Both of them have some great information.
Both articles are talking more about research and findings. While one has just two authors(journal) the other (magazine) has many authors.
I find the magazine article more detailed.
Both of them use the same method of citing their sources.
The are both very brief.

    Hi Yvonne,

    Thank you for your post. I beileve that you are missing the title of the popular magazine in your APA citation? Do you remember where it is from?

    I am very sorry I probably missed the title.
    Here is it, "Attributions for abstinence from illicit drugs by university students."

    Hi Yvonne,

    Thank you for looking up the title...you have the title of the atricle there, but not the title of the publication itself.

    If you can email me the info that you have, I will tell you what is the title of the actual publication.

    Sincerely,
    Professor Wexelbaum

    Drugs: Education, Prevention & Policy, Aug2008, Vol. 15 Issue 4

    That is the publication. (most likely a journal)

    Attributions for abstinence from illicit drugs by university students.

    That is the title of the article.

    In APA we can always tell whether or not something is an article or a title of a whole publication by its format. The title of a publication (book, journal, newspaper) is in italics.
    The title of the article or chapter is not.

    In the databases, the indexers do not show the results in APA format, but traditionally they link the article to its title. The title of the publication is often underneath that.
