Hello Raj, to my knowledge, APA style requires reference lists & not bibliographies.
If the list contains more than one item published by the same author(s) in the same year, add lower case letters immediately after the year to distinguish them.
In In-text referencing, every line in the paper should be double-spaced including the headings, footnotes, quotations, references and figure captions.
Page numbers must be included for direct quotations.

There are several officially accepted formats that can be used to reference the paper. My University, particular prefered APA 6th edition. In APA 6th edition, identify the sources in a brief format, in the body of the paper and provide a detailed list of the sources in an alphabetical list at the end of your work.
