Once you type your references on the reference page, you will need to put in a hanging indent and double-space the entire reference list. In Microsoft Word, highlight the references from A to Z, then find the paragraph function in the Word ribbon. Select Hanging under Indentation and Double under spacing. See the Formatting your References tab for instructions on doing this on a Mac or in Google Docs.

When citing websites; cite books, journals, magazines, and newspapers the same as you would a print source, then add a retrieval statement. The retrieval statement is the URL to the exact location where you found the material online. Do not end the reference with a period as readers may think it is a portion of the URL. The APA Style Blog specifies that URLs within the reference list can be "live." General Format: Organization Name. (YEAR, Month Day). Title of webpage. URL |
