APA

This guide will introduce you to crafting a paper in APA style.

Information Has Value

Popular in the social sciences, APA Style is developed by the American Psychological Association and helps students and researchers organize their work and sources. In addition to the social sciences, APA is used in education, nursing, and business fields. Not only does citing your sources properly help avoid plagiarism and its consequences, but it also links together works that build off of each other.

Additional Resources

Use the pages of this guide to craft your paper in APA Style, but consult the APA Handbook 7th ed., EasyWriter, Excelsior Online Writing Lab, or make an appointment with a librarian for further assistance. Those new to APA Style may want to view this introductory tutorial to get started.
