Quick Hints for a List of APA Citations

• When you are finishing your research project, it's important to gather up all of your sources and make a list of complete citations for each source.

  That list has a specific name in each citation style. In APA the list is titled References

• Citation lists use the following rules:

• Start your list of citations on a new page
• Center the title of your citation list
• Arrange the citations in alphabetical order by the last name of the author
•         or, if there is no author, by the first major word in the title.
• Double space the information in the list
• Use a hanging indent for each entry
• Do not number items in the list of citations
