APA 7th edition

NorQuest College uses the 7th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

The purpose of APA citation is to:

  • Identify other people’s ideas and information used within your paper.
  • Document the authors or sources of these ideas in a Reference list at the end of your paper.

Check out our Learn to Research guide for step-by-step help on how to research, and these tutorials on formatting in APA.

This guide is not comprehensive. It is meant to address common questions that NorQuest students have.
