Helpful Hints about APA

Students and researchers use the APA (American Psychological Association) style for psychology, sociology, education, human development, natural sciences, medicine, technology, and business.

Save your file often so you don’t lose valuable time or your train of thought!

Make a copy of your final paper for your personal records.

Contact a reference librarian to assist you with conducting research, APA/MLA styles, formatting web or online citations, etc.

Contact the Academic Support Center (all College campuses) to assist you with any questions you may have with writing a paper, including thesis statements, punctuation, grammar, proofreading, APA/MLA styles, etc.

Contact your instructor for any questions or guidance needed with your papers.

Publication Manual Section Numbers For additional information, check the Publication Manual numbers located after a topic. Abstracts - see APA 7.01.16 and 7.01.17 When using abstracts, you must indicate their use within your citation. For example, Abstract retrieved from OmniFile Full Text Mega database. Alphabetizing your works cited page - see APA 6.25 When alphabetizing your list of works cited, begin with the author’s last name (if available) and follow the strict A-Z letter-by-letter sequence. If there is no personal or corporate author for a reference, use the title in the alphabetical sequence.

When alphabetizing your list of references, follow a strict A-Z sequence. o Mc versus Mac
