APA BASICS

1. Most in text APA citations are (author last name, year). Citations come at the end of the sentence they support in most cases (Edwards, 2015). The period comes after the citation. If you use the citation in the beginning such as In a report by Dr. Edwards (2015), stated how work must be submitted on time the year follows the author’s name in parenthesis.

2. All references must be cited in the body of the document and at the end in APA format.

3. Only the first word in the title and subtitle should be capitalized in the full citation at the end.

Maras, E. (2015). Sustainability in the food supply chain: ROI makes strides. Food

Logistics, 18-26.

4. Remember to include the hanging indent in the APA formatted reference

COMMON REFERENCE CITATIONS

If you are using a citation generator, you must have it set to APA 6. Even if you use a program for references, always be sure to double check them. The Citation Machine (http://www.citationmachine.net/) as well as Word will put the citation in the correct format but you have to include the correct information. As a reminder, website references should look like this: Author, A., & Author, B. (Date of publication). Title of document. Retrieved from http://Web address For journal articles, you should have a doi. Note that "doi" is not capitalized in a reference list. There are two ways this reference might look: Example 1: Author, A., & Author, B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number, page range.

doi:0000000/000000000000 OR Example 2: Author, A., & Author, B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number, page

range. http://dx.doi.org/10.0000/0000 Finally, if an article doesn't have a doi, then you must provide a link to the journal website. Example below: Author, A., & Author, B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number. Retrieved

from http://www.journalhomepage.com/full/url

INTERVIEW

No personal communication is included in your reference list; instead, parenthetically cite the communicator's name, the phrase "personal communication," and the date of the communication in your main text only.

(Dr. Edwards, personal communication, January 4, 2001).

A. P. Smith also claimed that many of her students had difficulties with APA style (personal communication, November 3, 2002).

UNKNOWN INFORMATION

How do you reference a web page that lists no author?

When there is no author for a web page, the title moves to the first position of the reference entry:

Example: New child vaccine gets funding boost. (2001). Retrieved from http://news.ninemsn.com.au/health/story_13178.asp

Cite in text the first few words of the reference list entry (usually the title) and the year. Use double quotation marks around the title or abbreviated title.: ("New Child Vaccine," 2001).

Note: Use the full title of the web page if it is short for the parenthetical citation. Articles found on the web, like the example above, are not italicized in the reference entry and are not italicized but enclosed in quotations in the in-text citation, just like a newspaper or magazine article. Reports found on the web would be italicized in the reference list, as in Publication Manual (6th ed.) Examples 31, 32, and 33 on pp. 205–206. They would also be italicized in the in-text citation, just like a book.

Works with no author

When a work has no author, use the first two or three words of the work's title (omitting any initial articles) as your text reference, capitalizing each word. Place the title in quotation marks if it refers to an article, chapter of a book, or Web page. Italicize the title if it refers to a book, periodical, brochure, or report. on climate change ("Climate and Weather", 1997) Guide to Agricultural Meteorological Practices (1981)

Anonymous authors should be listed as such followed by a comma and the date. on climate change (Anonymous, 2008)

DVD/WEBCAST

When you cite DVDs and webcasts in APA format, remember that the speaker is not important in your citations; it does not matter who gave the presentation. Instead, DVDs, webcasts, and online videos use the publisher of the source in citations.
