APA (American Psychological Association) citation style refers to the rules and conventions established by the American Psychological Association for documenting sources used in a research paper or assignment.
APA style requires both in-text citations and a reference list. For every in-text citation there should be a full citation in the reference list and vice versa. APA is used in Psychology, Counselling and also in Sport & Exercise-related subjects.
