About this guide

This page provides resources to assist with citing and referencing sources in APA 7th ed. 

  • APA Style by the American Psychological Association is the referencing style which the UWI thesis guide states should be used by students in the School of Education (SoE), Faculty of Humanities and Education, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago.

  • All new students (2020-2021) are to use APA 7th.

  • Current graduate students who are submitting theses this year (2020-2021) may continue in APA 6th (unless the student wishes to do so in APA 7th) and, if submitting theses in 2021-2022, may do so in either 6th or 7th ed. By 2022-2023 - only APA 7th should be used.
