For the purposes of this class, you are encouraged to use APA citations. However, if you choose, you may opt to go with any other standard citation formats, such as MLA. Please inform Dr. Binder or Dr. Vilkner if you are using one of these alternate citation styles.
APA (American Psychological Association) style is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences.
APA style makes use of in-text citations for both direct quotations and paraphrased references to sources. The in-text citation should always be at the end of the sentence, like in this sentence (Author, Year). A references section should also be included at the end of your paper in alphabetical order.
