APA format is commonly used in the social sciences. It involves the use of parenthetical in-text citations, which means that the citation information is within parentheses.
You can get help with APA from the following:
- The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th Edition) is in Woodruff Library at BF76.7 .P83 2020 (*on the 8th floor of the bookstacks)
- Free online seventh edition style and grammar guidelines
- Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) -- a useful and comprehensive guide to citing different types of sources in APA format.
- You can copy and paste a reference cited in APA style directly from many of the library databases and from Google Scholar (to cite from Google Scholar, click on the quotation mark underneath the reference).
- You can also use a citation manager software, like Zotero or EndNote.
