Hello, I am working on an APA style research paper and need to do the reference sheet properly. Do you cite the sources as they are listed in the paper in chronological order or is there another way that is correct? Alphabetical?

Hello!

First, the References are listed in alphabetical order. For details - because the formatting is picky - see the helps on the Citing Sources tab of the Psychology Masters LibGuide. There you'll see:

  • Very Correct APA Style Paper, an annotated example with a references page
  • APA Style - References, a short video on formatting the references
  • APA and Microsoft Word, a short video on making Word do what you want it to
  • The remainder of the page has all kinds of APA help.

Thanks for asking!
