American Psychological Association (APA) Style

The American Psychological Association (APA) Style is a set of guidelines for writing and formatting academic papers, especially in social sciences. It ensures clarity, consistency, and proper attribution of sources. APA style specifies how to cite books, articles, and other references, as well as formatting details like margins, headings, and tables. Its goal is to help writers present their ideas clearly while giving credit to original authors, making research transparent and easy to follow. This standardization helps readers understand and evaluate the work effectively.
