A list of sources displayed on a separate page at the end of a report.
Page breaks and section breaks are two useful features for controlling page layout in MS Word and other desktop publishing programs. You should consider using them to format your thesis/dissertation. Show
Page BreaksPage
breaks are used to end a page without filling it with text. To make sure the title page of your thesis/dissertation is separate from the signature page, for example, insert a page break after the graduation date on the title page. Page breaks are also used to start a chapter on a new page, a common standard in publishing. To ensure that the new chapter does appear on a separate page, insert a page break immediately following the text at the end of the chapter. To add a page
break, click Insert, and Page Break, then OK. A page break can also be created by holding down the Control key, then pressing Enter. Section BreaksSection breaks are used to allow formatting changes (i.e., different margins, page number styles, etc.) in the same document. To have the preliminary pages (numbered using Roman numerals) and the body of your thesis/dissertation (numbered using Arabic numerals) in one document, a
section break should be used to change the format of the page numbers. Word 2007To create a section break in Word 2007, click Page Layout, choose Insert Page and Section Breaks (to the right of Orientation), then click Section Break Next Page. Word 2010Download the

Note: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here. This resource, revised according to the 7th edition APA Publication Manual, provides fundamental guidelines for constructing the reference pages of research papers. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (7th ed.). This page gives basic guidelines for formatting the reference list at the end of a standard APA research paper. Most sources follow fairly straightforward rules. However, because sources obtained from academic journals carry special weight in research writing, these sources are subject to special rules. Thus, this page presents basic guidelines for citing academic journals separate from its "ordinary" basic guidelines. This distinction is made clear below. Note: Because the information on this page pertains to virtually all citations, we've highlighted one important difference between APA 6 and APA 7 with an underlined note written in red. Formatting a Reference ListYour reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text. Your references should begin on a new page separate from the text of the essay; label this page "References" in bold, centered at the top of the page (do NOT underline or use quotation marks for the title). All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay. Basic Rules for Most Sources

Please note: While the APA manual provides examples of how to cite common types of sources, it does not cover all conceivable sources. If you must cite a source that APA does not address, the APA suggests finding an example that is similar to your source and using that format. For more information, see page 282 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed. Which of the following is a note or comment placed at the end of a section or document?Generally, a footnote is the note or text found at the bottom of a given page, while an endnote is a note at the end of a text. Some people refer to the notes at the end of a text as "footnotes," but text at the bottom of a page is never called an "endnote."
