Abstract
An analysis of references cited in textbooks by authors in Nigerian polytechnics revealed that the APA format of referencing is widely used. The study showed that a significant a significant number of textbooks had citation errors, while others had no references at all.
An analysis of the textbooks also showed that only nine textbooks cited electronic information. This could be as a result of the complexity associated with citing electronic information or such materials were not used. The analysis revealed that there are more books written by masters degree holders and more business-related textbooks, followed by computer- and engineering-related texts.
