In Family Studies all resources must be cited using the APA citation format.

American Psychological Association (APA) Style of Citation.

APA style is an editorial style that many of the social and behavioral sciences have adopted to present written material in the field. The American Psychological Association has established a style that it uses in all of the books and journals that it publishes. Many others working in the social and behavioral sciences have adopted this style as their standard as well.

General Rules

  • The Works Cited must be on a separate sheet of paper and placed at the end of the document
  • Entries must be in alphabetical order.
  • The date of publication follows the author/editor.  In magazine/periodical titles capitalize all major words
  • The title should be underlined if written by hand, but is in Italics when keyed on a computer. Do not use both.
  • No quotation marks are used in an article title from a magazine/periodical.
  • Major classical works (Bible, Koran, etc.) do not have reference entries. They are identified in the in-text citation followed by chapter, verse, and line, instead of page numbers.
  • Punctuation is important. Take careful note of the correct use of periods, commas and parenthesis (brackets) in examples given!
  • When in doubt more information is better than less!!!
