APA style is an author-date citation style. It was developed mainly for use in psychology, but has also been adopted by other disciplines.
There are two major components to the APA author-date style
• the in-text author-date citation at the appropriate place within the text of the document, e.g. (Smith, 2010), and
• the detailed reference list at the end of the document.
