APA Style Help

APA Style is used by writers in many disciplines around the world. At Spence, science classes use APA style to provide consistency in the formatting of citations in scientific writing. APA is composed of two parts: in-text citations that appear in the body of the paper and a list of references that appear at the end of the paper. The following resources help explain how to use APA style when creating a reference list and when writing a paper.
