Giving credit by citing information sources protects a writer from plagiarism. The presence of citations informs readers where additional information can be found and lends credibility to your writing. In this course, you will create citations following APA 7 style.
Instructions for formatting your APA paper and creating citations are in the documents linked below. Please note that the 7th edition of APA was released in October 2019. Be sure you are consulting an updated source for correct information on APA 7.
LSC-University Park students have access to free premium Grammarly accounts! This will be your proofreader/editor tool for your academic and professional writing. To get an account, follow the instructions in the Grammarly guide.
