Five Sources Formatted According to APA Rules for References
The research paper must include a list of sources used in the paper. In the APA format, the list is called: References. You should review the rules for formatting a citation for the References list, but it is not necessary for you to compose a citation from scratch. Use a citation generator. The citation generators produce the citations for you. You plug in the information about your source and the generator gives you the citation. There are several free ones available. I recommend this citation generator: Son of Citation Machine. You can access this generator at:
