APA 7 (American Psychological Society) is the citation style you will use to format your papers and cite your sources. This is the common citation style for scholarly communication in the Social Sciences, Dental Hygiene, and Nursing. If you are more familiar with MLA or Chicago, know that APA will require the same sort of information, just re-arranged slightly.

We proofread a lot of references, and based on that, we recommend that you:
Identify your source type first before you cite. Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Most sources on PubMed are journal articles.

Take full advantages of short-cuts, such as the citations in GALILEO, or ZoteroBib, but make sure you've done the steps above. Incorrect Info In = Incorrect Reference Out.
