Don't Forget!

• APA only capitalizes the first word of titles and subtitles.  
• Italicize the titles of books and journal volumes.
• When italicizing journals, italicize the volume number, but not the issue number.  
• Use hanging indent on the second line.
• Use double space.
• Alphabetize your citations by the first letter of the author's last name
