reference style (from the above "Crib Notes" web page)
The APA Publication Manual now instructs authors to use hanging
indents for references, and to use italics for titles. The hanging
indent is one-half inch (1.25 cm), just like paragraph indents.
All titles in references are set in sentence caps, but titles
quoted in the text are set in heading caps. No quotation marks
are used around titles of articles in references, but quotes
are used when citing article titles in the text. The APA Publication
Manual (2001) contains 95 examples of different reference types
(pp. 240-281). Here are a few examples of the most commonly
used formats.
