APA (7th Edition) for Word Online

Putting together a references page correctly is not difficult, but it does require some attention to detail. To get started:

1. On line one, type: References
2. Bold and center it and go to line two
3. Begin typing in your first reference. References must be in alphabetical order, based on author’s last name. We can change the indentation to match the example after we have typed them all in.
4. References are formatted differently depending on the format of your source, but all APA references follow this basic pattern:

Author, Date, Title, Publication information, Page number

Author, A. A. (Date). Title of work. Publisher Name. DOI/URL.

*NOTE: Remove DOI or URL if book is in print.
