APA Format

When writing essays or research papers in which you use the words or thoughts or ideas of another person, you must credit (document) the source of those words or ideas. At Maria College, we use the APA (American Psychological Association) documentation style in which you must briefly credit the sources of words or ideas within the text of the paper using in-text citations, and then you must fully identify and credit the sources at the end or your paper on the References page.
