Step 1
Write down a list of what you find.Citing APA style requires that you list alpabetically by "inverted last name, first name". In APA format, this order is crucial, so it easy when you writin an APA style research paper that you check and double check the alphabetical format. It helps to list all of your resources as you find them, and to alphabetize your APA bibliography when you are preparing the final product.

Step 2
Don't be afraid to look up your standard English conventions.APA style follows some simple rules of English usage. Follow capitalization rules, and understand when you name each source what to capitalize (only major words, the first, and the last) and to italicize all longer works.

Step 3
Don't be afraid to seek other resources to find help for your APA style research paper.Each and every book you use in your work should be included in your bibliography in proper APA style. Be sure that your content and your APA format is correct. If citing APA style seems too difficult to do on your own, ask a teacher or librarian to help you. Also consider purchaisng APA format software. APA format software can help you to meet the guidelines of the APA with a proper format.
