How to Write a Title Page in Annotated Bibliography APA Style

The APA (American Psychological Association) publication style is commonly used in the social sciences and academic journals. The sixth edition of the APA style manual is the most current edition. APA tailors formatting, in-text citations, end notes and footnotes and references. Commonly used in academic research papers, its primary purpose is to guide writers in preparing manuscripts for publication. It can take some time to become familiar and comfortable with this style, but once you write in APA style, it becomes easier to do.
