USING APA STYLE
If you plan to write a paper or dissertation/thesis using APA style, consider the APA Publication Manual an essential tool. In APA style, references are given in text and not as footnotes. Complete information appears only in the reference list. In the in-text reference, only the essential portion of the reference is given (the author's surname, date of publication, and, where necessary, the page or pages of the reference).
A brief review is presented below regarding in-text referencing, reference lists, and other APA rules, Samples for reference-list entries appear at the very bottom of this document. For complete details, consult your APA manual.
