Kindly remember that the final output (in-text citations and list of references) depends on the data that you have entered into the EndNote software (or any other reference management software).
ALWAYS review entries (whether manual or downloaded from a database or other online service) for spelling errors, incomplete or incorrect data, or data entered into wrong fields or resource formats
After inserting your in-text citations and references, convert your paper/thesis to plain text and use a guide or the APA Publication Manual to correct any mistakes.
APA Style by the American Psychological Association is the referencing style which the UWI thesis guide states should be used by students in the School of Education (SoE), Faculty of Humanities and Education, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago.
All new students from 2020-2021 onwards are to use APA 7th. edition.
Current graduate students who are submitting theses this year (2021-2022) may continue in APA 6th (unless the student wishes to do so in APA 7th.) By 2022-2023 - only APA 7th should be used by both new and continuing students.
