The accepted format for citing sources in psychology is the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association 7th edition. For help citing sources use the Library's APA Format Guide. Academic Writer, the premier resource for APA style is extremely useful for organizing your research and providing more in-depth instruction on APA through tutorials, guides, and sample papers.
If your instructor asks you to use the 6th edition the library's guide for the 6th edition is still available.
Questions about grammar and structure? Don't forget to refer back to your ENGL 3, 4 and 5 writing manuals. We have a couple of copies on Reserve if you need to quickly refer back to rules on commas, noun/pronoun agreement, structuring your paper, or other issues.
