Alphabetize reference list entries by the last name of the first author of each work. Capitalize only the first letter of the first word of a title and subtitle, the first word after a colon, and proper nouns. APA is a complex system of citations, which is difficult to keep in mind.

Mirror the sample. When the parenthetical citation includes two or more works, place them in the order they appear in the reference list – author’s name, the year of publication – separated by a semi-colon: (Kachru, 2005; Smith, 2008) Use: The THIRD PERSON point of view The study showed that...
