CITING SOURCES FROM THE PUBLICATION MANUAL OF THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (APA) STYLE (6 th Edition)

The REFERENCES page is alphabetized according to the author’s last name. Each reference usually has the following: author, year of publication, title of book or article ( Capitalize only the first word of the title, subtitle, or proper nouns), and publication data. If the work has a digital object identifier (doi), use it. You must have a reference for every source used in your paper. In the examples below, the references are single spaced. For your references, be sure they are double spaced and if the citation is more than one line indent the remaining lines by ½ an inch. If a periodical does not use volume numbers, include p. or pp. before the page numbers. This is so the reader will understand that the numbers refer to pages. Also, don’t use a period at the end of a web address.
