The Cybersecurity programs at UC require students to use the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th ed. (APA). NOTE: Significant changes were included in this edition and important corrections were made in the 2nd printing. If you are purchasing a copy for yourself, make sure you get an appropriate corrected edition.

It's important to point out that APA style is not just about formatting a list of references or in-text citations. It is a system of rules for documenting sources and presenting an entire manuscript. Hence, much of the manual deals with the style of writing as well as the placement and format of features such as headers, page numbers, appendices, etc.

Although you may not be required to apply the full APA style to every paper you write, you will be asked to employ more features as you progress through the program. It will benefit you to become as comfortable with the system as possible sooner rather than later.

If nothing mentioned here about citation or APA rings a bell, then now is the time to ask questions or set up a research consultation appt. Refer to Getting Help on the Home tab at the beginning of this libguide.
