Answer
Physical American Psychological Association (APA) style includes parenthetical in-text citations and a reference list.
The in-text citation style used by APA is parenthetical citations. Before the period immediately after the material you are quoting, include a parenthetical citation. When directly quoting or borrowing from the source material, these citations just need to provide a page number and should correlate to a more thorough citation in the reference list. The author's last name and the publication date are necessary components for this in-text reference. If the phrase explicitly specifies or indicates the original material, the final name may be removed.
A reference list, which appears at the conclusion of a book or paper and is an alphabetized list of all the sources cited, is the format used by the APA. The word "References" should be capitalized, and the list should be alphabetized starting with the first item in the citation, which is often the author's last name. Your work must cite each source on this and vice versa.
BASIC FORMAT:
Book - Author Last Name, Author First Initial.
Print Articles - Author Last Name, Author First Initial, & Author Last Name, Author First Initial.
Electronic Articles - Author Last Name, Author First Initial.
Physical Images - Artist Last Name, Artist First Initial.
Electronic Images - Artist Last Name, Artist First Initial.
