APA (American Psychology Association) format is used for writing bibliographies of school projects.

There are several formats of writing a bibliography, such as MLA, Chicago, and so on; but one of the most common and widely used formats of writing a bibliography in India is the APA format.

The APA style follows the author-date style of writing references, which is:

"Author (Published Year), Book/ Journal's Title, Publisher, Volume (If any)".

Example:

  • Book - "Ruskin Bond (2014), The Room on the Roof, Penguin Books Limited"
  • Journal - "Onuh M.U (2010), Propaganda usage in modern-day journalism, Journal of Communication and Culture, Volume 01"
