APA Style: Basics
The Concise APA Handbook: APA 7th Edition
APA Style
This guide is intended to help you cite sources in APA style, avoid plagiarism, learn what APA style is and includes, find examples of APA style, lead you to campus resources that can help you cite sources in APA, and more.
Understanding the “why” and the “how” of citing sources is critical to the ethical and information literate use of resources. Information literate students understand that scholarship is a conversation and that they demonstrate their participation in that conversation when they cite the contributing work of others in their own information production. Information literate students understand that information has value, and that proper attribution and citation is necessary to give credit to the original ideas of others.
Navigate through this guide by using the tabs to the left and visit the Citing Your Sources guide for more information.
