The APA (American Psychological Association) Guidelines are a set of guidelines designed to facilitate clear and precise communication in academic publications, especially in the citation and referencing of information sources. Although they originated in the field of psychology, their use has spread to other fields of the social sciences, economics and applied sciences, among others, because of their practicality in preparing manuscripts for publication, student papers and other academic products.
