APA Style -- Miscellaneous
Because of frequent questions, several clarifications of APA style for a paper's bibliography (or "reference list")
might be helpful.
SPACING
The 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (section
6.08) specifies double-spacing.
The authoritative Diana Hacker Research and Documentation site recommends double-spacing. See example.
W&L students may want to check with their instructors regarding
a recommendation.
ANNOTATING
Annotations describing the content of items cited in a bibliography
can add a great deal to the value of that list.
Here are two guides to preparing an annotated bibliography, one from Cornell University and one from Carleton College.
