The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing uses standards developed by the American Psychological Association (APA) for the organization, language, and editorial style of research papers, as well as for the citation and identification of reference sources. Click here to read the "Vision Statement on Professional Writing in Nursing" issued by the TTUHSC School of Nursing Writing Task Force.
The latest version of the American Psychology Association (APA) Style Guide is the 7th Edition, but it is not available in ebook format. TTUHSC Library will purchase the ebook when/if it becomes available.
Any citations you create will need to adhere to the APA Style Guide 7th Edition.
Online websites such as the Purdue University OWL, APA Style.org, CiteFast, etc., all offer information from the 7th edition of the manual, so feel free to use those helpful websites.
If you have any questions on citation management, contact a librarian using the Chat button at the top right of the library homepage.
