APA Citation Guide
- Double space all citations
- Use a hanging indent on the second line (and all subsequent lines)
- Beginning in 2009, APA requires a digital object identifier (doi) whenever possible. To locate a doi or look up an article from a doi go to: CrossRef.org
- Examples are based on the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th ed. (2010) which is located in the Reference section of the College library (REF BF76.7 .P83 2010)

- After the first line of a citation (which is set flush left), all subsequent lines must be indented one-half inch (five spaces in 12 point font). (See examples below)
