Bedford St. Martins Press APA List of References

Page |1 Bedford St. Martins Press APA list of references In APA style, the alphabetical list of works cited, which appears at the end of the paper, is titled “References.” The guidelines presented here are consistent with advice given in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th ed. (2010). Alphabetize entries in the list of references by authors’ last names; if a work has no author, alphabetize it by its title. The first element of each entry is important because citations in the text of the paper refer to it and readers will be looking for it in the alphabetized list. The date of publication appears immediately after the first element of the citation. In APA style, titles of books are italicized; titles of articles are neither italicized nor put in quotation marks. Many Sources, both print and online, inclue a unique, permanent number called a digital object identifier (DOI) that allows users to access a source in a variety of ways. General guidelines for listing authors (print and online) In APA style, all authors’ names are inverted (the last name comes first), and initials only are used for all first and middle names. NAME AND DATE CITED IN TEXT Duncan (2008) has reported that . . . BEGINNING OF ENTRY IN THE LIST OF REFERENCES Duncan, B. (2008). 1. Single author Page |2 2.

Sacred or classical text It is not necessary to list sacred works such as the Bible or the Qur'an or classical Greek and Roman works in your reference list. Online sources When citing an online article, include publication information as for a print periodical (see items 7–16) and add information about the online version (see items 30–35). Online articles and books sometimes include a DOI (digital object identifier). APA uses the DOI, when available, in place of a URL in reference list entries. Use a retrieval date for an online source only if the content is likely to change. Most of the examples in this section do not show a retrieval date because the content of the sources is stable; if you are unsure about whether to use a retrieval date, include the date or consult your instructor. If you must break a DOI or a URL at the end of a line, break it after a double slash or before any other mark of punctuation; do not add a hyphen. Do not put a period at the end of the entry. 30. Article in an online journal If there is no DOI, include the URL for the journal’s home page. Page |9 Ashe, D. D., & McCutcheon, L. E. (2001). Shyness, loneliness, and attitude toward celebrities.
