APA: References Page<\/h1>\nIn an APA paper, the sources used in the paper are listed on the References page in alphabetical order. APA Style offers sample student and professional paper<\/a>s<\/span>, including a free annotated student sample paper<\/a><\/span>.\n\nHere's a video showing how to format a Reference List:\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/06zERP-jI5g\n\nUnlike MLA, which uses the same basic format for every type of source, the formatting in APA style changes for each type of source. One thing that stays the same is that the author is followed by the date. Here are some sample citations:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sample References Page<\/h2>\nThe formatting for an APA References page is almost identical to a Works Cited page in MLA. Sources should be listed alphabetically with a hanging indent. This means that the first line of the citation is flush to the left margin, and all additional lines are indented. Citations will look like reverse paragraphs. This formatting helps readers find the reference source more easily.The only difference is the heading at the top of the page should be References. Here is a sample APA References page:\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_98\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"1268\"]\"Sample Image of a screenshot of a sample paper licensed CC BY.<\/em>[\/caption]\n

Tips:<\/h2>\n
    \n \t
  1. Use the \"Insert page\" feature to make sure the References page is on its own page at the end of your document. Put your cursor at the end of your paper, then insert a new page. Start typing your References page on the new page.<\/li>\n \t
  2. Center the heading References at the top of the page. Do NOT use any special formatting for the heading.<\/li>\n \t
  3. The entire page should be double spaced, just like the rest of your paper.<\/li>\n \t
  4. Sources should be in alphabetical order.<\/li>\n \t
  5. Sources should use a Hanging Indent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
