Writing a Master's thesis can be a daunting task, requiring extensive research, critical analysis, and

precise writing skills. The process involves formulating a research question, conducting a literature
review, collecting data, analyzing findings, and presenting coherent arguments. Additionally,
formatting the thesis according to the APA (American Psychological Association) style guidelines
adds another layer of complexity.

APA style is commonly used in the social sciences and education fields for citing sources and
formatting academic papers. When citing a Master's thesis in APA, follow these guidelines:

1. Author: Start with the last name followed by initials of the author(s). If there are more than
seven authors, list the first six followed by an ellipsis (...) and the last author's name.
2. Year: Include the year of publication in parentheses.
3. Title: Use sentence case for the title of the thesis. It should be italicized.
4. Type of Work: Specify that it is a Master's thesis in parentheses.
5. University: Provide the name of the university where the thesis was submitted.
6. URL or Database: If the thesis is available online, include the URL or the name of the
database.
