APA (American Psychological Association) 7th is an author-date referencing style.
Information for this guide is from the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association: The official guide to APA style (2020). Consult the manual for more comprehensive information. Copies are held in each of the Campus Libraries. Also, check out the APA Style Blog.
In APA 7th, you reference by providing a citation within the text of the document (in-text citation), which includes the author and date.
You then add the related entry to the reference list at the end of your document. The reference list entry (author, date, title and source) provides the full details of the reference.
