Please note that this page reflects APA 6 resources and is not the most up-to-date APA style guide.
In 2019, the American Psychological Association introduced APA 7, and that is the version most Palm Beach State College instructors are using. Please check with your instructor.
Don't let APA overwhelm you. Stop by or call (561.868.3713) to get assistance from a librarian. You can visit the Reference Desk on the 2nd floor of the Lake Worth Library or make an appointment with a librarian.
