Student: I wonder if I could ask you some questions about our paper, professor. Do you want us to cite our sources in the footnotes?
Professor: You should use endnotes for longer explanations. Otherwise, just follow the style sheet I passed out for citations in your paper.
Student: I see. And what about the cover page? Is there a special format for that as well?
Professor: Do you have the handout I passed out with you? If you look at the bottom of that, you’ll see that that you should follow the format of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition.
