APA Referencing

There are some simple rules that you should follow when referencing:

  1. Use the title ‘References’ not ‘Bibliography’ or ‘Works Cited’
  2. List all the references in alphabetical order.
  3. Always indent after the first line, one tab in.
  4. Use the correct format for each reference (see guide below).
  5. Do not number the references or use separate lists for books / websites / movies.
  6. Try using the APA template in WORD.
