APA+Formatting

In the social sciences (history, psychology, government, etc.) writers are required to follow the APA (American Psychology Association) guidelines in formatting and citing sources. They have very stringent rules that if you choose to major in any of the social sciences, you will be required to follow. For this class, we are going to focus on the rules for citing sources. I assume most of you will be focusing on online and non-print sources so I have provided the following links to help you when you are writing your bibliography. The "Research Template" in the "Writing Your Papers" section will help you to save your research to make it easier to write your bibliography. For this section, please review the three hyperlink-ed sections to familiarize yourself with what you will be required to do for your paper.
