APA Style Guide

Changes to be noted in the reference format for articles:

• Do not include database information for works obtained from most academic research databases, because works in these resources are widely available. Provide database information only when it is necessary to retrieve the cited work from that exact database. APA 7, 9.30
• Include the issue number for all periodicals that have issue numbers. APA 7, 9.25
• Many online periodicals publish articles without volume, issue, and/or page numbers or articles numbers. Omit these elements from the reference if they are not present in the cited work.
• List up to twenty authors; if there are more than twenty authors, list the first nineteen followed by an ellipsis, then the last author.
• If citing online article from a website with no DOI, omit "Retrieved from...." before URL.

Format:

Author, A. A. & Author, B. B. (Year). Title of article, not italicized. Name of the Periodical, Capitalizing Important Words, volume number italicized(issue number not italicized), inclusive pages. DOI 

NOTE: The comma after the journal title is not italicized.

Provide database information in a reference only when it is necessary for readers to retrieve the cited work from that exact database. For example, if the database:

• publishes original or proprietary works
• contains items of limited circulation, i.e. dissertations, works in a university archives, works posted in governmental or institutional repositories, monographs published in ERIC (ERIC documents, not journal articles), or primary sources
