APA style is currently most commonly used for research papers, in-text citations, references and other formatting, especially in the social sciences field. Why use APA format? • Graduate level work requires both accepted academic rigor and format. • Post University Graduate programs and courses require a consistent format be used for research papers, including the APA style. • In-text citations and end-of-paper references are expected of an academic effort to discern your own thinking from others’ works and ideas. You should have your due, and so should the authors researched. Copyright law protects their author- ship.
