Citation Style!

Marine Science use the citation style of APA. APA includes a title, an abstract, main bodies, and references. Marine science will use APA for things such as experimental reports. The basics to APA is first finding a point of view. First person is rarely used in APA unless the writer is a senior scholar and deserves it. You should use third person. You do not want to misrepresent information and confuse your readers. You should be as specific as possible and be cautious of your word choice. APA is not like writing a literary paper. Do NOT use poetic expressions or language. Using APA you must try to stay clear of biased forms of language.
