APA

APA, or the American Psychological Association, is a professional organization focused on psychology and related fields. It is widely known for establishing guidelines on research, writing, and publishing in the social sciences. The APA style provides a standardized format for citing sources, structuring papers, and presenting research findings, which helps ensure clarity and consistency in scholarly communication. This style is commonly used by students, researchers, and professionals to avoid plagiarism and give proper credit to original ideas, making it easier for readers to locate and verify sources.
