*Kinesiology: General Research Guide

For Your Specific Area

APA is the most common style that you will use in your kinesiology classes, but when in doubt, always check with your professor.  The OWL at Purdue has an excellent APA guide that you can use online.  If you prefer to use a book, you can use the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association in the library (a copy is available in the reference collection at Research Help).
