Introduction to APA Style

The APA citation style is primarily used by disciplines in the business, social sciences, health, and education fields. The official guide is published by the American Psychological Association:

  • Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association
    Call Number: BF76.7 .P83 2020
    The official handbook for APA style.

There are several official resources online to help you with APA:

  • APA Style and Grammar Guidelines
  • APA Style Blog
    The official blog for the 7th edition, answering and clarifying questions about APA.
  • Quick Reference Guide [PDF]

The main navigation links will show you how to set up your paper in APA format, and how to properly cite a variety of resources, both in your references list and within your paper using in-text citations.
