APA Formatting 7th Edition: Reference Page

 

     APA Formatting 7th Edition

Reference Page

The final part of your paper is the References. This last section lists the detailed citations of all of your sources, allowing readers to find the same source for themselves if they would like to read further into anything that you discussed. Refer to the citations area of this webpage for properly formatting your citations.

    2. Click the arrow in the Paragraph section to open the full paragraph menu
    3. With the paragraph menu open,
    4. Under "Indentation" 
    5. Select "Hanging" from the drop-down menu under "Special"
    6. Click OK
  • This sets up the page to indent every line after the first line for each citation.
