Mental Health Counseling

By citing your sources, you:

• allow your readers the opportunity to check your sources (giving your work more credibility)
• give credit to the authors of your sources (avoiding plagiarism)

Please consult the APA Publication Manual even if you use a program to create citations for you.  The citations created by these programs frequently are close, but not exact.  Print copies of the APA Publication Manual are available in the library. The brief document below gives examples of APA references for common types of sources. Alternatively, the Purdue OWL is an updated, excellent source for APA Styling.
