      APA Citation Style

      APA (American Psychological Association) is most commonly used to cite sources within the health sciences and social sciences fields. This resource, revised according to the 5th edition of the APA manual, offers examples for in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and your reference list or bibliography page.

      Why should I cite my sources?

      • To demonstrate you have considered others' research.
      • To direct readers to additional information.
      • To establish credibility as a careful researcher.
      • To show professional honesty and courtesy.
