We do not use APA format, we do not use the word "References" instead use "Sources" for the title. Also, we use the Strayer Writing Standards when listing the articles under the sources page, list them in numerical order to match the order in which you introduced the in-text citations. Then list the full article using the following four items as follows: Source 1. The Author's First and Last Name. Year of Publication (No parenthesis). Title of the Article (No Italics).
