Nursing 214/224 (Nursing 4): Cite Your Research - APA

APA Style

APA Style

The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association: the Official Guide to APA Style (7th edition) is available in the CCM Library as a reference book (library use only): REF BF76.7 .P83 2020.

Many of our databases offer a cite link that generates an APA citation. Caution: use this citation only as a draft, as many database-created citations contain errors in spelling, formatting, order, and more. Always refer to the manual above or to the APA Style website: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines.

The Online Writing Lab at Purdue University also has a user-friendly guide to APA Style:

Purdue's 1-page APA Style Guidelines Overview is a great document to print:
