APA GUIDELINE
Basic APA Rules for Formatting the List of
References:
 The list of all the sources you made reference to in your paper

is called References. It must be included at the end of your


paper.
 Flush the first line of each entry with the left margin; indent

the second and all subsequent lines by 0.5 inch (5-7 spaces).
Make sure that References, like the rest of your paper, are
double-spaced.
The basic elements of an APA entry include: author name, date
of publication, title of the work, and publication information.
