Tips on choosing and using citation styles (also called referencing styles) plus using systems such as EndNote, Zotero and Mendeley.
APA style refers to author names parenthetically in text, and the list of references at the end of the paper is organised alphabetically by author.
NB: the latest (7th) edition of this style is newly published, your department or supervisor may require you to use the 6th edition.
Some Food Science thesis and dissertation supervisors recommend this style from the American Chemical Society.
