APA Format

APA Format, developed by the American Psychological Association, is a style guide used primarily in the social sciences for writing and citing sources. It provides a consistent structure for research papers, including guidelines for margins, font, headings, and referencing. In-text citations typically include the author's last name and publication year, while the reference list at the end of the paper provides full details about each source. This format helps ensure clarity and credibility in academic writing, making it easier for readers to locate and verify information.
