APA Format

APA is a specific way to format your paper. This format's requirements include double-spaced 10-12 point font, 1" margins and times new roman font. In APA format there is also a specific way to site sources. The first time that you site your resources in your text, you must list the author's name and the year of publication. If your information was found on a specific page, you can also state the page number you found it on. There are many ways that a source can be written in a text. Some ways are that if you have multiple authors or that there is no author at all. You must credit your resources whether you use a direct quote or you paraphrase.
