week 7-Citation and Documenting Information Sources in APA Style

What is APA all about?             
          As I learnt in this week, APA is American Psychological Association. It provides guidelines for publication in Social Science Journals (such as Psychology, Sociology, Education, and Nursing). APA style is used for:

• Term Papers
