What is APA Style?
The American Psychological Association (APA) is one of the largest scientific and
professional associations in the United States. The APA Style is a set of rules and
guidelines provided by this association to ensure a professional standard of scholarly
writing.
Why use APA Style?
We use the APA Style to:
1. Help the researchers and the readers to keep track of the sources consulted
or cited
2. Avoid plagiarism
3. Acknowledge the contribution of other writers and researchers in your work
4. Develop standard and professional practice in scholarly writing
