APA (American Psychological Association) is the format commonly used in the behavioral and social sciences.

Using a common format makes it easier for the reader to understand and evaluate documents.

Citations are used:

·          to give credit to others' work.

·          to inform your reader about the sources you used for your paper.

·          so readers can track back to the sources themselves.

Remember! If you find an article that is exactly on the topic you are researching, track back the references at the end of the article to help you with your own research.
