Reference Citation Style

Before beginning writing, it is important to determine the reference citation style. References can be listed at the end of each chapter, at the end of the book, or as footnotes. Note how in-text citations are used including punctuation.  Authors are responsible for adding in any references used in APA format, and properly citing work used.
