A guide to help you learn how to do research for KSSPE assignments

6. Citation (APA & MSSE)

Citation Styles

There are many citation styles, so check with your professor to see which one to use.  Many courses in KSSPE use either the APA or the MSSE style.  MSSE is most often used with the exercise science majors.

MSSE citation style
