APA Format


The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (a/k/a APA style guide) is now in its 6th edition. The APA style guide specifies the layout of the document, placement of titles and page numbers, choice of language, tone of writing, acknowledgement of sources within your content and the Reference list at the end of your document. As always, please check with your instructor about any specific formatting requirements.
