The noticeable aspects of APA style are:
- An emphasis on the date a work was created, so in most APA citations, the date is placed immediately after the author’s name in the “References” page.
- Authors are named by their last name followed by initials; the publication year goes between parentheses and is followed by a period.
- Only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized for article titles.
- Periodical titles are written in title case and followed by the volume number, which, with the title, is also italicized.
