go online to any of the apa sites, I like apa perrla, buy for around $30 the software. You type your papers in, follow the prompts, and you're done.

I also highly recommend the Owl at Perdue. Free and is a great website no matter what format you must use.

I have used this webiste: http://citationmachine.net/index2.php?reqstyleid=2

It's free, so that's amazing. It gives an option to put in an ISBN number of a book to get the APA, but I haven't tried it, yet.

I've always used essayrater.com. Load your paper, follow the prompts. It's awesome. Paper that I didn't use it, 84. Paper that I did, 100.

Good luck... I hate writing papers!!!

perrla is great! I have been using it since 2005---

now I am back in school-- my p.c. broke, and I bought a macbook laptop for convenience and guess what? perlla does not work on mac

after much searching, I found reference point, and that does work on mac! just fyi for all our mac users out there.
