Your instructor may require you to use APA format or create APA style citations. If so, the info on this page will answer the majority of your APA questions.

If the info on this page does not answer your APA questions, you may need to consult the APA Publication Manual, which is available in the library.

A word of warning: These sites FREQUENTLY create citations that contain errors. Still, some students find them easier than creating their own citations. If you use these, double check their work very carefully.
