Using APA

To create a References page according to APA format, follow these four steps.

  1. Center the title References 1 inch from the top of the page. Most word processing software presets the 1-inch margin. Do not use quotation marks, underlining, bold, or italics on the title. The font size and type should match the body of your paper.
  2. Double-space between citations.
  3. List every source you cite in the body of your paper. Sources should be listed in alphabetical order by the first word in the citation (usually the author's last name).
  4. Begin all citation entries at the left margin (1 inch away from the paper edge). The rest of the lines of each entry should be indented five spaces (about 1/2 inch).
