How do I cite sources using APA style?
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th ed. (2010)
is the authority used by writers in the social sciences and some natural sciences.
1. Additional resources:
Unofficial:
CSUF APA Citation Style (PDF) provides a two-page overview of some of the
most common citation needs for both the in-text parenthetical documentation and
the reference list
Official:
APA Style Tips
and the APA Electronic
References provide a few official examples from the APA. Neither is comprehensive;
the print Publication Manual is the only authoritative source of citation rules.
Copies are kept at the Reference Desk for in-library use.
