Acknowledgement of sources used, written in your Rmd just as you would in a Word doc:

| Authors              | In-text Citation          | Parenthetical Citation    |
| -------------------- | --------------------------| ------------------------- |
| One Author           | Evans (2020)              | (Evans, 2020)             | 
| Two Authors          | Evans and Field (2020)    | (Evans & Field, 2020)     |
| Three+ Authors       | Evans et al. (2020)       | (Evans et al., 2020)      |

# Getting References: Google Scholar

Search for the source on Google Scholar, use the Cite button & copy the APA style reference into the list in your report

Make sure to proof read the citation, they can sometimes be inaccurate/missing key information!

.italic[It is possible to use .bib files that you can export directly from a reference manager, but this is somewhat more complicated, look at the [slides from Level Up Week 01](https://and.netlify.app/seminr/01/level_up/#11) if you're interested!]

# Formatting References in R Markdown

Even when copying over APA style references from Google Scholar, the italic formatting will be missing when we knit

But we can easily italicise text by enclosing it in * or _ (either is fine - personal preference)

# Hanging Indentation in Word

Indented references can be automatically generated when working with pdf documents, but we can't do this with Word so we have to do it manually after any final changes have been made
