Science resources often use APA style. The APA website provides examples of how to cite and how to structure a paper in this style.
APA style follows this format:
Book Resource
Jackson, L. M. (2019). The psychology of prejudice: From attitudes to social action (2nd ed.). American Psychological Association. https://doi.org/10.1037/0000168-000
The librarian can guide you to citation management software and resources to help you properly cite your sources.
