APA - American Psychological Association

For the most part, the APA style documentation system is used in the social and natural sciences like Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology. It is not exclusive, however, and will be found used in fields of study ranging from Business to Biology.

Inserted at the point of reference, an in-text parenthetical citation containing the author's name and the date of publication interacts with the end documentation by pointing to a specific entry on the References List page.
