All academic work at the Institute of Psychology and Education must follow APA 7th edition standards. You can find here a guide to these standards, for in-text and bibliographic citations here a comprehensive site on APA standards.

You can also use the free program Zotero (official guide), which allows you to automate bibliographies. Be careful, the program does not check the integrity of the references and sometimes produces incorrect formatting. It is therefore essential to check your references anyway. This is a tool that facilitates formatting, but it cannot do the work for you. You will find here a complete user guide aimed at French-speaking students. There are many resources in english available online also.
