Although there are many online tools for creating APA citations, as well as a References tool in Microsoft Word, these don't always produce perfect citations. It's recommended that you take the time to learn APA style, since you'll need to recognize an incorrect citation before you can check the accuracy of citations created by Word or other tools.
How can I tell if it's a research article?
Look for these elements in the article:
- Background
- Objective
- Methods
- Results
- Conclusions
Academic research articles will almost always include sections with these headings. If you see them, you know you're reading a research article.
If you find a recent Review article, you can check its references list for current Research articles.
