APA
APA (American Psychological Association) style is a widely used citation and formatting style primarily in the social sciences, such as psychology, sociology, and education. It provides guidelines for writing, citing sources, and formatting papers to ensure clarity and consistency in academic writing. Key features of APA style include a title page, abstract, in-text citations (author-date format), and a reference list. The 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual outlines specific rules for citing books, journal articles, online sources, and other types of media. Adhering to APA style is important for academic integrity and making research easily accessible and understandable to others.
