¿Qué es una ficha bibliográfica?
Es una breve franja informativa que contiene datos importantes sobre un texto al que hacemos consulta. El propósito de la ficha bibliográfica es de proveer evidencia consistente de las fuentes que consultamos para la realización de una investigación o trabajo escrito. Una ficha bibliográfica redactada correctamente ayuda a localizar los escritos utilizados.
¿Por qué se llaman fichas “APA”?
Las fichas bibliográficas APA surgieron de la American Psychological Association (APA). Este grupo de profesionales de la sicología diseño un estilo uniforme de compartir la información de sus research and publications with other specialists, using abbreviated information on the sources used in their work. Thus, these psychologists are assured that their colleagues could access the background information they used for their research. Over time, other areas of specialization noticed how convenient it was to use the small line of information to share sources. It is currently used by nearly all scholars of any subject. How
looks a bibliography card?
There are many styles of bibliographic records, according to the text that we use as an information source. For example, Cataloguing a journal is different from a form book or newspaper. There are even cards to name sources in the WEB, a TV program or movie you've seen on DVD.
How I can make a bibliography card?
Before writing a page should have your reference book used for our research. As an example we will use a very interesting book we got in the Google Books website.
FIRST, the cover of a book can provide valuable information for the preparation of an index card:
This If we can identify the following elements:
Edition: Third
text Title: Research Methods
clinical and epidemiological
Author (s): Josep M.
Argimon Pallás and Josep Jiménez Villa
SECOND, the page that follows the cover looks like:
This page contains other vital information for the card:
Editorial: entity that published the book (ELSEVIER)
Location editorial (Spain)
Year of publication: first edition (1991), second edition (2000) and the third edition (2004) that is the issue that we are evaluating at this time.
NOTE: Additional information ISBN is a unique numbers used to locate a book in a library or bookstore specializing in selling texts. For bibliographic records, the numbers not used.
How do I use the information that I just get the text?
First, we must put this information in strict order established by APA for the type of text consulted. In this case, consult a book and therefore we must follow the following order information:
Surname, Name (year). Book title. Edition. Publisher: Place of publication.
NOTES:
The author must be written using his name first, followed by a comma and the initial of his name.
Example: Rivera, Y.
If more than one author, you must separate the names by using commas and the conjunction "and" before last name.
Example: Rivera, Y., Morales, P., Ruiz, B. and L. Cancel
If there are too many authors (6 or more), it is convenient to use the first author and the phrase "and others."
Example: Rivera, Y. and others.
Important:
To make a card must comply strictly with the use of periods, commas, colons and parentheses in the specific location where requested. In cases in which requests italic writing, this only applies to when we made the chip in a computer. Whether we realize it in his own handwriting, should not be differences in the writing, but should take care of punctuation. To write the number of pages we use the abbreviation pp.
If an item of information is not available should be consulted to sources at the bottom of this document to make the form as accurately as possible.
Finally, to build the tab that corresponds to the text we use an example, we put the information in the following format:
Armigon, JM and Jimenez, J. (2004). Methods of clinical and epidemiological research. Third edition. Elsevier: Spain.
The models used for APA chips are
