Citations

As you are conducting your literature search, be sure to keep track of the citation information for materials you will likely use.  It's much easier to keep track of them as you go along than to try to find them again later!

Most papers in the field of Psychology use APA citation format. 

If you don't already know how to use this format, you can use a tutorial.  You will find a link to one on the Welcome page for this module.

If you already know the basics of APA but have some questions about citing a particular resource,

  • The best source of information is the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association in the Library's Reference Collection [call number Ref BF76.7 .P83]

  • APA Format [Web page] from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Writers' Workshop

  • APA Formatting and Style Guide [Web page] from Purdue University's Online Writing Lab.
