It will provide you with examples of citations based on the different types of article that you may encounter in your studies. This guide has been compiled by experts who have extensive knowledge of how to construct an APA reference for journals; it follows the seventh edition of the APA Publication Manual.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When putting together your reference list, your citation is comprised of the following core elements:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Author and date<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Title of article<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Publication information (title of publication, volume and issue number, page range)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">DOI<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In-text citations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>LET\u2019S START WITH THE BASICS OF APA CITATION FOR JOURNAL ARTICLES<\/h2>\n<h3>A BIRD\u2019S-EYE VIEW<\/h3>\n<p>The layout when citing articles in APA style is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Author Surname, Initial(s)., Subsequent Author(s) Surname(s), Initial(s)., &amp; Final Author Surname, Initial(s). (Year). Title of Article. <i>Title of Journal<\/i>, <i>Vol<\/i>(Issue), page range.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Chan, T. C. Y., Cho, J. A., &amp; Novati, D. C. (2012). Quantifying the contribution of NHL player types to team performance. <i>Interfaces<\/i>, <i>42<\/i>(2), 131\u2013145.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you need to produce an in-text citation\u2014for example, when you directly quote from or paraphrase a source\u2014the form is as follows:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Parenthetical: (Chan et al., 2012)\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Narrative: Chan et al. (2012)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For a more in-depth look at APA in-text citations, please refer to our discussion here.<\/p>\n<h3>FINDING AND CITING YOUR ARTICLES ONLINE<\/h3>\n<p>You will often find scholarly articles online. The main difference between print and online articles is that for the latter, you need to provide a \u201cdigital object identifier,\u201d or DOI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take an example:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Heged\u00fcs, R., \u00c5kesson, S., Wehner, R., &amp; Horv\u00e1th, G. (2007). Could Vikings have navigated under foggy and cloudy conditions by skylight polarization? On the atmospheric optical prerequisites of polarimetric Viking navigation under foggy and cloudy skies. <i>Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences<\/i>, <i>463<\/i>(2080), 1081\u20131095. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1098\/rspa.2007.1811<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>WHAT\u2019S THE DEAL WITH DOIs?<\/h3>\n<p>The general rule is that if an article has a DOI, you should supply it in your reference list. This means that even if you used a print copy, you should check to see if that article also has a DOI. If so, include it with the entry in your reference list.<\/p>\n<p>The DOI should start with <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/\">https:\/\/doi.org\/<\/a>, followed by the specific numbers relevant to your article. You can leave the DOI as an active hyperlink. Note also that you do <i>not<\/i> include a period at the end of the DOI. Because DOIs can be lengthy, you should copy and paste them, instead of typing them manually. Finally, DOIs should only appear in your <b>reference list<\/b> entries; your <b>in-text<\/b> citations do not need to provide the DOI.<\/p>\n<h3>SOME SPECIAL DATABASES YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT<\/h3>\n<p>For certain databases you <i>do<\/i> need to supply a DOI or a URL, but this applies to specific situations.<\/p>\n<p>One such database is the <i>Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews<\/i>. When citing from this, the format is the same as for other types of article, with one exception: you replace the title of the journal with the name of the database. Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Allaouat, S., Reddy, V. K., R\u00e4s\u00e4nen, K., Khan, S., &amp; Lumens, M. E. G. L. (2020). Education interventions for preventing lead poisoning in workers. <i>Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews<\/i>. https:\/\/doi.org\/\/10.1002\/14651858.CD013097.pub2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another database that you may encounter is the <i>UpToDate<\/i> database. There are two key differences to keep in mind when citing from this database:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You need to provide a retrieval date (i.e., the date you accessed the article).\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You need to supply a URL, as opposed to a DOI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, let\u2019s take an example.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Raby, B.
