APA 7th Edition Citation

General APA Guidelines

Your essay should be typed and double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11"), with 1" margins on all sides. You should use a font consistently throughout the paper. APA recommends using either a sans serif font such as 11-point Calibri, 11-point Arial, or 10-point Lucida Sans Unicode, or a serif font such as 12-point Times New Roman, 11-point Georgia, or 10-point Computer Modern.

Include a page header at the top of every page. For a student paper, this only includes the page number in the header even with the top right margin.

More details are available from your instructor, the sample paper link provide, the Purdue OWL website, or the APA Manual located at the library reference desk or on reserve at your campus library.

You should always double-check any of the citations that are made for you.  Never just blindly copy and paste a citation assuming it is correct.
