APA Citation Style is a format used to credit sources in academic writing, commonly applied in the social sciences, including education. APA (American Psychological Association) style provides a consistent structure for citing books, articles, websites, and other sources, ensuring clarity and uniformity across scholarly work.
We use APA format in education courses for academic integrity, credibility, professionalism, and organization. The current edition of the APA citation style is the 7th. You can find information on how to format your paper and bibliography using the APA citation style using the following:
