APA Style

The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA style) is widely used for writing and formatting scholarly works.

If you're using APA on a regular basis, the manual is a worthwhile investment. You can find it on Amazon or through any other bookseller.

Resources

If you don't have the manual or plan to buy it (highly recommended), here are some resources that may prove useful.

The library provides examples of common citations, including of course content.

Purdue OWL has a guide that covers not only the formatting of citations and references, but of papers and sections thereof. The site is a treasure trove of APA information and a go-to for many using the style.

In addition, you might find our general information on using style guides helpful.
