Using APA

APA (American Psychological Association) 7th edition is used in the areas of behavioral and social science. If interested in an online citation generator, BibGuru is linked below.

There are formatting rules one follows when writing a research paper (margins, page numbers, titles, capitalization, etc.), creating in-text citations in the body of the paper, and writing full citations in the References page (the last page). View the APA sample paper. Some professors may ask you to submit your papers to Turnitin, a plagiarism checking database.

You must have both the in-text citations and the References page which is a list of all sources you used for your paper.
