APA Reference List rules and examples
(Download
the Basic Rules for Reference Lists (APA style))
NOTE: This handout is based on the rules set
out in the publication manual (fifth edition) of the American Psychological
Association (APA). It is not intended to replace the APA manual. When
in doubt consult the APA publication manual and your professor. The
library call number is: REF BF76.7 P83 2001
A reference list is placed at the end of your paper but before any appendices.
Its primary purpose is to provide the reader with all necessary information
to retrieve any source cited in a paper. It also allows the reader a
preliminary means to judge the credibility of your sources and the breadth
and depth of your research. To this end, every source you cite in the
text of a paper must appear in the reference list; similarly, every
entry in the reference list must be cited in-text.
