APA Style & Formatting

A Beginner's Guide to APA Citation & Formatting

Asking a Librarian?

How can Librarians provide you with APA Support?

Although Library Services does not review the reference section of your paper, librarians can help you identify resources for answering your APA questions. Some typical cases might include:

  • How do I cite a code of ethics?
  • How do I cite the MACP Skills Lab?
  • How do I find the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for a citation?

Let us know your question by asking us directly via email or sending a request to ASK YU.
