FS- Citation Style

The citation style used on forensic science papers is APA, which is the American Psychological Association and is commonly used in the academic fields of social science. APA format involves the use of headers, footers, and in-text citations. Also, at the beginning of each page is a heading or sub-heading which introduces what that particular segment of the paper is going to be about. At the end of the paper is the Reference page, which can be compared to the Works Cited page in MLA format, except the citations on the Reference page in APA is a little different. APA papers are typed, double-spaced, and call for a 10-12 Times New Roman (or similar) font.
