In graduate schools, the use of APA format is a terror that needs to be learned and used frequently. Everything is APA! Well, i learned about PERRLA APA programs. If you can use it, that would help you ALOOOT!

As a returning student 18 years after getting my BSN APA format in no way resembles what it was back in the day! ;o) Learning how to cite online references was an eye-opening experience with my APA book open in my lap and an example-paper provided by my instructor.[/quote']

There is a new APA manual just for electronic references. It is a great resource and under $10. I think it only exists as an ebook though... I bought it after seeing so many differing opinions on citing online material and it clarified everything.

Microsoft word has where you can set it for APA 5th or 6th edition formatting. I use my book more for proper sentence structure for in text citation and for reference structure.

I totally agree. PERRLA is great so is Grammerly.
