APA Publication Manual, 7th Edition by Request a physical copy of the handbook through the Library Catalog.
The American Psychological Association (APA) was founded in 1892, and their mission is "to promote the advancement, communication, and application of psychological science and knowledge to benefit society and improve lives."
The MLA Style is the primary style used across the behavioral sciences, especially Psychology and Education, though other academic disciplines often use it as well.
The American Psychological Association has a robust online resource known as APA Style Online, which includes free resources on research, writing, and documentation within the APA style. There is also the opportunity to subscribe to a complete online version of the Manual, but the library also has several copies of the current edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association available for referencing for free.
Some other useful online guides include the Purdue Owl Writing Lab, Scribbr and EasyBib by Chegg. All of these online guides include help with citation formatting, sample papers, and even some video tutorials.
We are always looking to improve the resources we provide to our students and faculty, so please let us know if you see something that should be added, updated, corrected, or otherwise modified. Contact our Reference Librarian to let us know what changes would be helpful to see.
