This FAQ is about punctuation in references. Each element of #APAStyle references (i.e., the author, date, title, and source) usually ends with a period.

👉 An exception is when the title element ends in a question mark, as in this example.

How do college students seek help? Most stick to system-embedded supports, but top performers also use personalized help like tutoring. Lower performers rely more on group sessions & forums. Adapting help-seeking may boost success!
