The American Psychological Association (APA) offers a style sheet and documentation format for writers. APA is the preferred style sheet in many of the social sciences, particularly education and psychology.
Students and scholars should follow the most recent edition of APA and any unique requirements of a course of publication.
An excellent resource on-line for APA can be found here:
