APA Style
For specific details and examples on citing sources within a paper and on creating a Works Cited page, mouseover the "APA Style" tab above and choose the appropriate subpage.
Electronic References
- APA Style Guide to Electronic ReferencesBecause not all Internet sources have title and copyright pages, the elements for a reference can be difficult to find. In general, include the same elements, in the same order, as you would for a reference to a fixed-media source, and add as much electronic retrieval information as needed for others to locate the sources you cited.
