Cite Your Sources

Use your textbook for guidelines on how to cite in APA style. For a more in-depth resource, use the Excelsior Online Writing Lab (OWL) online APA Citation Guide.

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.
