APA Style (American Psychological Association)

APA Style is a set of guidelines for writing and formatting documents, commonly used in the social sciences. It helps ensure clarity and consistency in academic communication. Key elements include in-text citations to credit sources, a reference list at the end of the document, and specific formatting rules for headings, margins, and font. APA Style emphasizes the importance of reliable sources and provides a standard way to present research, making it easier for readers to understand and follow scholarly work. Following these guidelines enhances the credibility and professionalism of written content.
