APA ALPHABETIZATION GUIDELINESReferences are ordered alphabetically by the first author’s last name.
If the author is unknown, order the reference entry by the first meaningful word of the title (ignoring articles:
“the”, “a”, or “an”).
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/format/
12.
PAGE HEADERIn an APA Style paper, every page has a page header.
For student papers, the page header usually
consists of just a page number in the page’s topright corner. For professional papers intended for
publication, it also includes a running head.
A running head is simply the paper’s title in all
capital letters. It is left-aligned and can be up to 50
characters in length. Longer titles are abbreviated.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/format/
13.
HEADINGS AND SUBHEADINGSAPA headings have five possible levels.
Heading level 1 is used for main sections such as
“Methods” or “Results”.
Heading levels 2 to 5 are used for subheadings.
Each heading level is formatted differently.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/format/
14.
TITLE PAGEThe title page is the first page of an APA Style paper.
It includes the paper title, author’s name, affiliation, course number and
name, instructor name, and due date of the assignment.

APA IN-TEXT CITATIONS:THE BASICS
In-text citations are brief references in the running text that direct readers to the reference entry at the end of
the paper. You include them every time you quote or paraphrase someone else’s ideas or words to avoid
plagiarism.
An APA in-text citation consists of the author’s last name and the year of publication (also known as the author-
date system). If you’re citing a specific part of a source, you should also include a locator such as a page number
or timestamp. For example: (Smith, 2020, p. 170).
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/
16.
APA IN-TEXT CITATIONS:PARENTHETICAL VS. NARRATIVE CITATION
The in-text citation can take two forms: parenthetical and narrative.
Parenthetical citation:According to new research … (Smith, 2020).
Narrative citation: Smith (2020) notes that …
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/
17.
MULTIPLE AUTHORS AND CORPORATE AUTHORSThe in-text citation changes slightly when a source has multiple authors or an organization as an author.
Pay attention to punctuation and the use of the ampersand (&) symbol.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/
18.
MISSING INFORMATIONWhen the author, publication date or locator is unknown, take the steps outlined below.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/
19.
APA REFERENCES:THE BASICS
APA references generally include information about the author, publication date, title, and source.
Depending on the type of source, you may have to include extra information that helps your reader locate the
source.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/
20.
REFERENCE EXAMPLEShttps://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/
21.
MISSING INFORMATIONIt is not uncommon for certain information to be unknown or missing, especially with sources found online.
In these cases, the reference is slightly adjusted.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/
22.
FORMATTING THE APA REFERENCE PAGE:THE BASICS
On the reference page, you list all the sources that you’ve cited throughout your paper. Place the page right after
the main body and before any appendices.
On the first line of the page, write the section label “References” (in bold and centered). On the second line,
start listing your references in alphabetical order.
Apply these formatting guidelines to the APA reference page:
Double spacing (within and between references)
Hanging indent of ½ inch
Legible font (e.g. Times New Roman 12 or Arial 11)
Page number in the top right header

WHICH SOURCES TO INCLUDEOn the reference page, you only include sources that you have cited in the text (with an in-text citation).
You should not include references to personal communications that your reader can’t access (e.g. emails, phone
conversations or private online material).

25.
HOW TO CITE A BOOK IN APA STYLEA book citation in APA Style always includes the author’s name, the publication year, the book title, and the
publisher.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/book/
26.
BASIC BOOK CITATION FORMATThe in-text citation for a book includes the author’s last name, the year, and (if relevant) a page number.
In the reference list, start with the author’s last name and initials, followed by the year. The book title is written in
sentence case (only capitalize the first word and any proper nouns). Include any other contributors (e.g. editors
and translators) and the edition if specified (e.g. “2nd ed.”).
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/book/
27.
EBOOKS AND ONLINE BOOKSA citation of an ebook (i.e. a book accessed on an e-reader) or a book viewed online (e.g. on Google Books or in
PDF form) includes the DOI where available. If there is no DOI, link to the page where you viewed the book, or
where the ebook can be purchased or accessed.
Since ebooks sometimes do not include page numbers, APA recommends using other methods of identifying a
specific passage in your in-text citations—for example, a chapter or section title, or a paragraph number.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/book/
28.
CITING A CHAPTER FROM AN EDITED BOOKWhen citing a particular chapter from a book containing texts by various authors (e.g. a collection of essays),
begin the citation with the author of the chapter and mention the book’s editor(s) later in the reference. A page
range identifies the chapter’s location in the book.

HOW TO CITE A JOURNAL ARTICLE IN APA STYLEAn APA Style citation for a journal article includes the author name(s), publication year, article title, journal name,
volume and issue number, page range of the article, and a DOI (if available).
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/journal-article/
31.
BASIC FORMAT FOR AN APA JOURNAL CITATIONThe article title appears in plain text and sentence case, while the journal name is italicized and in title case (all
major words capitalized).

32.
WHEN VIEWING AJOURNAL ARTICLE
ONLINE, THE REQUIRED
INFORMATION CAN
USUALLY BE FOUND ON
THE ACCESS PAGE
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/journal-article/
33.
LINKING TO ONLINE JOURNAL ARTICLESA DOI should always be used where available. Some databases do not list one, but you may still find one by
looking for the same article on another database.You don’t need to include the name of the database in your
citation.
If no DOI is available and the article was accessed through a database, do not include a URL.
If the article is not from a database, but from another website (e.g. the journal’s own website), you should ideally
use a stable URL: this is often provided under a “share” button. Otherwise, copy the URL from your browser’s
address bar.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/journal-article/
34.
HOW TO CITE A WEBSITE IN APA STYLEAPA website citations usually include the author, the publication date, the title of the page or article, the
website name, and the URL. If there is no author, start the citation with the title of the article. If the page is likely
to change over time, add a retrieval date.
If you are citing an online version of a print publication (e.g. a newspaper, magazine, or dictionary), use the same
format as you would for print, with a URL added at the end. Formats differ for online videos (e.g.TED
Talks), images, and dissertations.

HOW TO CITE A WEBSITE IN APA STYLEhttps://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/website/
36.
CITING AN ENTIRE WEBSITEWhen you refer to a website in your text without quoting or paraphrasing from a specific part of it, you don’t
need a formal citation. Instead, you can just include the URL in parentheses after the name of the site:
For this kind of citation, you don’t need to include the website on the reference page. However, if you’re citing a
specific page or article from a website, you will need a formal in-text citation and reference list entry.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/website/
37.
ONLINE ARTICLES FROM NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, AND BLOGSArticles appearing in online versions of print publications (e.g. newspapers and magazines) are cited like their
print versions, but with an added URL.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/website/
38.
ONLINE ARTICLES FROM NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, AND BLOGSThe same format is used for blog posts. Just include the blog name where you would usually put the name of the
magazine or newspaper.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/website/
39.
ARTICLES FROM ONLINE-ONLY NEWS SITESFor articles from news sites without print equivalents (e.g. BBC News, Reuters), italicize the name of the article
and not the name of the site.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/website/
40.
WEBSITES WITH NO AUTHORWhen a web page does not list an individual author, it can usually be attributed to an organization or government.
If this results in the author name being identical to the site name, omit the site name, as in the example below.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/website/
41.
WEBSITES WITH NO AUTHORIf you can’t identify any author at all, replace the author name with the title of the page or article.
In the in-text citation, put the title in quotation marks if it is in plain text in the reference list, or in italics if it is in
italics in the reference list. Note that title case is used for the title here, unlike in the reference list. Shorten the
title to the first few words if necessary.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/website/
42.
WEBSITES WITH NO DATEWhen a web page or article does not list a publication or revision date, replace the date with “n.d.” (“no date”) in
all citations.
If an online source is likely to change over time, it is recommended to include the date on which you accessed it.
https://www.scribbr.com/apa-examples/website/
43.
HOW TO CITE FROM SOCIAL MEDIAAs social media posts are usually untitled, use the first 20 words of the post, in italics, as a title. Also include any
relevant information about the type of post and any multimedia aspects (e.g. videos, images, sound, links) in square
brackets.

PARAPHRASE A SENTENCE FROM THE PASSAGE BELOW USING APA7TH FORMAT
From the earliest sand burials 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians could
see that a body had to be dried to stop it from rotting away. They
developed a method of drying with natron, a natural salt that left a
corpse more flexible and lifelike than drying with hot sand.
Title: Mummy
Author: James Putnam
Year Published: 1993
Page: 14
51.
SAMPLE ANSWER 1In his book Mummy, James Putnam (1993) explains
that Egyptians began using a natural salt on the
bodies, because it helped them dry up without
rotting (p. 14).
52.
SAMPLE ANSWER 2To prevent the bodies from rotting, Egyptians began
using a natural salt called natron to dry them
(Putnam, 1993, p. 14).
