APA Citation Style

The APA formatting style is generally used in education and for the subject areas of psychology, engineering, science, and social sciences.  When using APA, you create a References List.

In APA style, in-text citations are inserted in the body of your paper to identify the source of your information. In-text citations point the reader to more complete information in the References List at the end of the paper. Visit the APA In-Text Citations:The Basics from the Purdue OWL website.
