References

The reference list at the end of your research paper lists the sources that you used in your paper. The sources listed are only the sources that were used to write your paper or support your paper. The reference list is doubled-spaced within and between sources, and is arranged in alphabetical order by the surname of the first author. Sources listed without authors are listed alphabetically by title within the reference list. The first line of each reference begins at the left margin and each following line is indented by three spaces, or set the default tab at 0.25”. Please note that SERC Bibliographies are single-spaced to save space and paper; however, they do follow the current APA style (5th edition changes) beginning with addendums dated July 2002 to current. This “How To ” sheet represents the most frequent requests for examples of APA style citations. For a complete reference for all APA style citations and in text citations, please ask a SERC Librarian for the Reference Desk copy of the 5th edition publication manual. Additional help is also available on APA style guidelines by visiting APA’s online resource at www.apastyle.org
