    American Psychological Association (APA) Style is a set of rules developed to assist reading comprehension in the social and behavioral sciences. Basically- rules you have to follow when writing a paper (letter size, line spacing, paraphrasing, quotations...). You can find more details here:

    APA is a style of citing and formatting in an essay, it is much like the MLA format that most high schools use.

    Here is a site that I have found helpful in the past for APA stuff:

    Get an APA style manual from your nearest college bookstore. Good luck!
