| Citing Sources in APA Style |
|
When writing a research paper using the APA style, you are required to embed references to recoverable information you have used within the context of your article, using an author-date citation system. Each resource cited in context must also be included in a References section at the end of your paper. The key purpose of listing references is to enable the reader to easily locate any resource cited.

Multiple copies of the manual are available in the library (BF 76.7 .P82 2001). The following web sites provide numerous examples of citations using the APA Style:
