#APA FORMAT EXAMPLE WORD DOCUMENT MANUAL#
This means that the first line of each entry is left aligned, while the second and subsequent lines are indented (the Publication Manual recommends 0.5″ or 1.27cm-the default in Microsoft Word). Apply a hanging indent to each reference list entry. Order your reference list alphabetically by author. All references should be in a “hanging indent” format.All reference entries should be double-spaced.The word References should appear in bold in upper and lower case and be centred at the top of the page.Use only the surname of the author(s) followed by a comma and the year of publication.

The APA referencing style is an “author-date” style, so the citation in the text consists of the author(s) and the year of publication given wholly or partly in round brackets.

APA in-text citation style uses the author’s last name and the year of publication, for example: (Field, 2005).
