Listing your References in APA style:
General guidelines:
References cited in the text of a research paper must appear in a reference list or Bibliography.
This list proves the information necessary to identify and retrieve each source.
Order: Entries should be arranged in alphabetical order by author’s last names. Sources without authors are arranged alphabetically by title within the same list.
Authors: Write out the last name and initials for all authors of a particular work. Use an ampersand (&) instead of the word “and” when listing multiple authors of a single work. e.g., Smith, J.D. & Jones, M.
Pagination: Use the abbreviation p. or pp. to designate page numbers of articles from periodicals that do not use volume numbers, especially newspapers.
Indentation: the first line of the entry is flush with the left margin, and all subsequent lines are indented 5 to 7 spaces.
Underlings vs Italics; it is appropriate to use italics instead of underling for titles of books and journals.
