Citing your sources correctly in APA Format may be the last step of your work, but it is equally as important as all the other components of your research. We recommend that you use the tools on this page to help you get started using APA Style.

The American Psychological Association has published a brief electronic guide to supplement the Publication Manual (pictured to the right). This 38 page, pdf guide has updated guidelines for citing electronic sources. Make sure to use this along with the Publication Manual.

APA Style: Electronic Sources

We highly recommend this brief video introduction to APA Style. The video (21 minutes) features GSSW's own Professor Katie McGinnis-Dittrich.
