Q. How do I cite sources in APA format?

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:

1. 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)
2. Free online seventh edition style and grammar guidelines
3. Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) -- a useful and comprehensive guide to citing different types of sources in APA format.
4. 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).
5. You can also use a citation manager software, like Zotero or EndNote.

Additionally, the following APA Style resources are freely available:
