[Year 12 IT Apps] The Brontosaurus Theory of Anne Elk (Miss) - and the 2016 study design (consultation draft)

[Mark]

One of the key knowledge dotpoints of the consultation draft of the 2016
ITI (IT:Informatics) study design for U3O2 is "a standard method for
referencing... sources, such as Harvard, American Psychological
Psychological Association (6th version)".

It turns out that the august American Psychological Psychological
Association's style guide (Sixth Edition) uses the character of Anne Elk
(Miss) and her famous 'Theory of Brontosauruses' to illustrate how to
reference a periodical article.

Elk, A. (1972a). My theory on brontosauruses. *Journal of the
All-England Summarize Proust Competition, 31,* 12–27.


It uses this example for books, reports and so forth.

Gumby, T. F. (1972). *The brain specialist.* Cambridge, England:  Python.

And for university publishers

Clark, D. T., & Schoomaker, P. J. *How not to be seen*. Tampa:
University of Florida.


Who said psychologist style guides weren't fun?
