The following is an example of how to write each entry in APA style ( Please note that the date retrieved and name of database is not normally required for APA style using a professional journal article; usually this is only for identifying a paper published on a website. However,
Use Times New Roman 12 point font
Double space all lines
Use hanging indent
Organize the Five (5) (at least 1) entries by authors’ last names for draft
