The American Psychological Association (or APA for short) publishes The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, the most commonly used citation style within the social sciences. APA Style refers not only to how references should be cited, but also to how your paper should be formatted and other concepts related to writing a research paper.

The Library provides many sources to help you with APA Style, the largest of which is Academic Writer, a resource which has many different tools for researching, writing, and citing sources. The APA Manual of Style has sections incorporated into this program.  

See the links and introductory videos and tutorials below for more information about APA Style rules and Academic Writer.
