The APA referencing style is an author-date citation style with two main features:

• In-text citations, when you refer to another author's work you must cite your source by providing the last name(s) of the author(s) and the year of publication.
• The reference list which appears at the end of your assignment and includes a full description of each source you have cited, listing them in alphabetical order by the author's last name.
