APA citation style refers to the rules and conventions established by the American Psychological Association for documenting sources used in a research paper. APA style requires both in-text citations and a reference list. For every in-text citation there should be a full citation in the reference list and vice versa. Refer to Publication manual of the American Psychological Association in the library\u00a0[REF BF76.7 .P83 2001].<\/b><\/p>\n

The examples of APA styles and formats listed on this page include many of the most common types of sources used in academic research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
