APA Format Sample Reference List
6
Within the box below is an example of how an actual reference list would look. Note the hanging indent
of each new reference entry. Note also that all items are alphabetized by the first major word of the entry.
Finally, note that everything is double spaced.
An actual reference list would have at least 1-inch margins. The page has a running head in the header
area (i.e., a shortened version of the paper’s title). The reference list comes at the end of the paper, so the
pagination continues (i.e., this would be page 14 of the paper).
