The reference pages follow the last text page and begin on a new page. Under the page header and number, put the word "References" in mixed case and centered. Everything is double spaced, each individual reference has a hanging indent, and references are arranged in alphabetical order. Each APA reference consists of three to five fields including author, date, article title, publishing information, and retrieval information arranged in order--

Normal preferred method:

Author. (Date). Title. Publishing Information. Retrieval Information. 

Authorless non preferred method:

The following pages provide information about the construction of each field:

Author
Date
Article/Chapter Title
Publishing Information
Retrieval Information (Internet)
