APA Data Sets, Software & Tests

This group includes data sets; computer software; and mobile apps, apparatuses, and equipment. Please note that you don’t need to cite software, programming languages, or apps if you simply mention them in text. However, if you have quoted from or paraphrased software, an app, or an instruction manual for a test, scale, or inventory, then you must provide appropriate in-text citations and references as needed.
