APA Reference Page
What is a Reference Page?
Whereas the in-text citation is a small snippet of information, each Reference entry contains the rest of that bibliographic information. The reference page is it's very own page, at the end of your paper, and it will include one citation entry per outside source that you use. So, if you used three outside sources, you'd have three citation entries on your reference page. Each reference entry is going to be different depending on the source you are citing.
