Here are some important characteristics of APA to keep in mind as you get started:
- References contain four main parts: Author, Date, Title of work, and Source
- The author's last name comes first; Use initials only for first and middle names
- Italicize titles of whole works, but not chapter or article titles
- In-text citations include an author/date combination and must also appear in the reference list
- The Reference list is organized alphabetically by author
We have an infoguide for that! ⇒ APA Format
