Basics of the Reference Page
What do you need to include?
Author name
Publication date
Source titleWhere you found it
1827Slide12
Authors
Author’s name should appear as Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial.
Example:
Salinger, J. D.If there’s no author put the title of the work before the publication date. Example: Merriam-Webster's collegiate dictionary. (1993). Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster.Slide13

)
Multiple authors? Use the & symbol.
Two authors:
Geisel, T. S., & Lewis, S.Three to seven authors:Salinger, J. D., Geisel, T. S., & Lewis, S. , &More than seven authors:Dickens, C., Salinger, J. D., Dickinson, E., Geisel, T. S., Lewis, S., Stoker, B.,...Stowe, H. B.This is different from the in-text citation rule for the same source (Dickens et al.)Slide14
Titles in References
Notes on formatting:
Italicize titles of
whole
works (books, journals, CDs, etc.).Do not italicize or use quotation marks on titles of parts of works (chapters, articles, songs, etc.).Only capitalize the first word and proper nouns.EXCEPTION: Journal titles are capitalized “normally,” i.e. in title case.Book: Hard times.Journal: Dickens QuarterlyArticle in Journal: Green cheese.

Middle Initial., & Author Last Name, First Initial. Middle initial. (Publication year). Book title. Publication City, State Abbreviation: Publisher.Slide16
DOI or URL?
With online periodical sources, APA requires inclusion of one of two pieces of information.
DOI
: A digital object identifier is assigned to a specific article and can usually be found on the first page of that article. It may also be in the article’s record in the database/webpage where the article was found.
Example: doi:10.1016/j.maturitas.2011.05.011URL: If there is no DOI, use the uniform resource locator for the periodical homepage, NOT the article webpage, database webpage, or article in the database. You can usually do an Internet search for the title of the journal plus the publisher name (if known) to find the journal homepage.Some databases, like those from EBSCOhost, provide this information or a link to the publisher. Example: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/maturitas/Slide17
JOURNAL ARTICLE:
two to seven authors; no DOI; paginated by issue; print
