Citing in APA Style
APA stands for American Psychological Association, which currently uses the Publication Manual of American Psychological Society 7th edition to cite sources.
Citing sources is important because:
- It allows your readers to find and view the original sources used in your research.
- It provides credit to all the people whose ideas you are citing in your paper to support your own research.
Find out more about citing sources, citation styles, citation managers, and more in the Citing Sources guide.
