List of references

APA style requires you to list your sources with full bibliographic information at the end of the paper. The title is References （no italics, underlining or quotation marks）. The list begins on a new page and continues the paper's page numbers. Like other page numbers, the page number appears as part of the manuscript header in the upper-right hand corner, half an inch from the top and flush with the right margin （all margins are one inch）.

　　The title is centered, an inch from the top of the page. Double-space between title and the first entry, but don't insert an additional blank line.

　　There are two APA styles for formatting references. One is primarily for manuscripts that will be submitted for publication: each entry is flush with the left margin, with the first line indented half an inch. The whole list is double-spaced with no blank line between entries.

　　The other, more common style for college papers, is to use hanging indents: the first line of each reference has no indentation, and subsequent lines are indented a half-inch. That's the style displayed here.

　　If the list of references extends to more than one page, subsequent pages follow without the title but with the manuscript header.
