www.apastyle.org for revisions. This handout is to be used as a guide and does not
preclude using the above cited APA resources.
Confused? Dont worry, just check out the examples below demonstrating these basic rules of APA.

When a work has no author, use the first two or three words of the title for the in-text citation.
Use quotation marks around the article title of a journal/magazine/website or book chapter.
Italicize the shortened title of a book, journal, magazine, newspaper, brochure, film or video.

OR
Merit based assessment is primarily a means of promotion (Debating Affirmative Action, 2008).
PARENTHETICAL EXAMPLES
NOTE: EXAMPLES ARE SINGLE-SPACED IN THIS GUIDE TO CONSERVE PAPER.
BE SURE TO DOUBLE-SPACE BETWEEN ALL LINES.
ONE WORK BY TWO AUTHORS
For works, such as peer-reviewed journal articles written by two people, include both last names of the authors
in alphabetical order every time. Join the names with "and" in the signal phrase of the text. Only join the names
by an ampersand (&) when the names are placed in a parenthetical citation.

OR
Children are most likely to be intimidated (Grossman & Lenz, 2009).

Arrange dates chronologically by the year within the same parentheses and separate by a comma.

UNSIGNED ARTICLE IN AN ENCYCLOPEDIA
Cite the title of the unsigned article using double quotation marks and the year of publication of the
encyclopedia. Only use the quotation marks for in-text citation only, not the reference citation.
New Orleans has always been a meeting place for musicians ("Jazz History," 1999).
PAMPHLETS
A pamphlet probably has no authors name, so use the organization or corporate authors name. If there is no
date, use (n.d.). If there are no page numbers, count the paragraph numbers using (para.).
It is documented that many families are affected by natural disasters everyday (American Red Cross, n.d., para. 3).
MUSIC RECORDING
To cite a music recording, include the artists name, year, and song track number from the album.
The beat to Thriller evoked a temporal response in the listener (Jackson, 1982, track 4).
PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS
APA style only requires an in-text citation for personal communications. Give the first initial and last name of the
communicator, the type of communication (interview, lecture), and provide the exact date:
There was deep concern about the economic recovery during the discussion (R. Scott, interview, May 3, 2011).
OR
The Italian government cooperated to an extent that is still not well known (M. Finkelstein, lecture, June 23, 2006).
-5-
WEBSITE CITATIONS
To cite an entire website (but not a specific document on the site), its sufficient to give the address of the site
in a parenthetical note at the end of the sentence. No reference entry is needed in these instances.
Kidspsych is a wonderful interactive website for children (http://www.kidspsych.org).
OR
President Obama often used Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/barackobama) and Facebook
(http://www.facebook.com/barackobama) to keep citizens up to speed of his initiatives.
Only cite from credible websites. If youre not sure a website is credible or suitable for academic writing, please
ask a librarian. Include authors last name, date, and paragraph number in the in-text citation. If no author
name is available; use the first few words of the title of the article in quotation marks.
Date
Title: put
first few
words in
quotes
if authors
name is
unavailable

cited in para. 3
FACEBOOK or TWITTER
Only cite a Twitter or Facebook account if you know it is an official account of a notable or authoritative
person. Use the authors real last name, not the screen for the citation.
Dr. Zimbardo suggested on Twitter to watch president Obamas speech in Tuscon (Zimbardo, 2012).

REFERENCE EXAMPLES
These are some commonly used reference citation examples. If you cannot find an example that applies to
your source, follow the most appropriate example for the type of document or media you are citing.
Using Word, highlight the text of the entry, (1) select the <Paragraph> dialog box, (2) in the Indentation
area change the Special field from (none) to Hanging, (3) press OK. Every line of your
reference entry following the first should be indented, like these directions look.
Remember to double-space all reference entries, with Times New Roman and 12 point font size.
Remove any hyperlinks that may automatically generate after inserting an Internet address.

Creating citations from general Internet sources can be tricky because they all do not follow the same
formatting standards. Try to include author, date, title [format description in brackets], and the source
URL.
If no author is available, place the title before the date

Break a URL that goes to another line after a slash or before a period
Remove hyperlink if auto-generated
When Internet document comprises multiple URLs, provide a URL that links to the home or entry page

Preformatted Citations in Databases
Preformatted reference citations are sometimes provided in the database record. However, double check the
formatting, like italics, punctuation, and capitalization because preformatted citations are not always correct.
The sample below is for demonstrative purposes.
Not all databases offer preformatted citations in APA style or look like the example below.
2) By clicking the title of the article, all the information needed to create a citation is listed:
Author, Date, Title, Source, and DOI. Or press the Cite icon for a preformatted citation.

Many of the databases have an option to Email the article and citation to yourself. This is always a good idea in
order to assure you do not lose the article. Select APA in the Citation Format field if available.
Not every database offers APA format citations but might offer MLA format.
Be aware, the information from a MLA citation can often be reformatted into an APA citation with little effort.
www.WORLDCAT.org
Worldcat is an international library database with over 1.5 billion items. It provides preformatted APA
citations for items you look-up, like books, DVDs, and more. Remember always double check the
formatting guidelines for types of references because the preformatted citation may not be correct!
