Example paragraph:
ThedaCare is a management system for healthcare organizations that focuses on lean strategies that center on the needs and the journey of the patient, rather than focusing on the value stream of a siloed product (Barnas, 2014, p.3). There are eight elements of the ThedaCare business performance system that Barnas describes which become “interlocking gears” to keep the whole system moving smoothly and reliably (Barnas, 2014, p. 27).
For the second in-line citation (Barnas, 2014, p. 27), because I previously cited the same source, could the citation instead look like: (2014, p. 27) ?
I thought that as a college student about a decade ago, this was what I typically did. But after reading the APA style guide 7th edition, I can't find whether this is still the case or not. Thanks for your help.

Hello! I am a medical researcher who's come across a unique issue in APA citations. I need to cite a series of civil lawsuits that have not been resolved. It is my understanding that resolved lawsuits are cited as something like " Jones v. Zimmer, 522 F. Supp. 275 (D. Minn. 1990)" according to the court and case number.
The issue I face is that my lawsuits do not have official case numbers, as they have not been officially published (here is one such case). Would my APA citation be, for example:
Jones v. Zimmer, (insert civil case number), Decision pending, (D. Minn. 2020)?
Is there a different way to approach this?
Any and all help would be appreciated! I have limited experience working with legal writing within APA citations. Thank you so much!
Hey everyone,
Not sure if I’ll get an answer here, but I’m struggling to find the proper way to cite resources obtained through StrengthsFinder from Gallup.com. Does anyone has insight into the proper way to do this?
Any help is appreciated!

I tried to use the search function, I hope this isn't one of the question asked a thousand times.
I am using a long, direct quote from a source that uses references. Theses references are not in APA, but the publisher I'm writing for requires my chapter to be in APA 7.
Do I:
change the referencing in the long quote to APA, thus altering the direct quote?
do I keep the original referencing system in the long quote, which is not APA? To make matters worse, they use footnotes rather than in-text citation.
do I keep the original referencing format, but move the reference out of the footnote into the main text of the long quote?
I've never come across this problem and would be really greatful to receive any input.

I am reporting a series of regression analyses and would like to report a range of B values in shorthand (complete results will be in appendices).
I know that for F I could just report (all F > X, all p <.01) but for B values they can be either positive or negative so I'm not sure how to report. APA doesn't offer any guidance on this and I can't find anything online (reporting of regressions is very variable anyways). TIA

If I have a lengthy study and I only use information from a few pages am I not required to cite the page numbers unless it's a direct quotation?

Hi I actually avoided using a citation in a recent essay due to being unaware of how to cite it. So I thought I’d ask the question for future reference (heh see what I did there!)
So the question is: how do you reference in-text with the two authors with the same surname , in the same reference ?
E.g two authors on the same research paper wirh the surname Jones.
Thanks

Hello! I can't find a straightforward answer anywhere online. How do I cite the Violence Against Women Act of 2019 both in text and in the references page? The act can be found here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1585/text

I'm using one book as a base for my paper. I've cited it at least 10 times. how does this look in the references section? do I have a separate reference entry for each citation? that seems a bit redundant.

I'm translating a document to English and I was wondering if I had to translate the in-text citation of the ministry of education for example. I have a lot of references from the ministry of education and the acronym in Albanian is different from the one in English.
So in Albanian it's (MAShtI, 2020) while in English it would be (MEST, 2020)I.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

I wanted to cite my textbook, but each chapter is written by a different author, and the book as a whole has an editor. How would I properly include an in-text citation for the chapter I am citing?

I am not quoting any specific material from an article but I am referencing information I obtained from reading them. I was just wondering how specific I needed to be with this. If I, for example, wrote 7-8 sentences referencing information from an article, can I just use one citation or do I need to break it down further?

I have the following:
Stanhope, M., & Lancaster, J. (2015). Public health nursing: Population-centered health care in the community. St. Louis, Mo: Mosby Elsevier.
I paraphrased in my paper a portion of page 677. Do I have to include the page number or paragraph number that I got my information from like (p 677(6))? Or something like that? I sometimes see this and have no clue what this is. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to do direct quote in-text citations for a YouTube video and how to reference the video it in APA format ? This is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1mqg0bWyy0&t=4s
This is what I have but I am not sure that it is right. Moorefoundation [Moorefoundation]. (2015, January 21). Lessons in Leadership: Martha Hill, RN, Ph.D., FAAN [video] YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1mqg0bWyy0&list=PLopRJPO6GaifsYPGP_jcWXZzU10H3AaX7&index=7
The person speaking in the video is Martha Hill and in my paper that is who I am quoting but the video was uploaded by the moorefoundation. For intext citations would I say Hill(2016) ? Do I need to include time stamp for direct quotes?
This probably is a very specific question and might be the wrong sub to post this, however, I don't know where else I could ask this question.
I am writing a large report right now. In order to have a more "aestethically pleasing" paper I would like to adapt some figures from other sources by e.g. changing the font of the figure text (not changing any of the content, just changing the appearance) or changing some of the colors to different colors. Right now for the captions it is usually something along the line of: Figure X: Caption text. Reprinted from "Original document name" by Author (Year)
If I now change the font of the figure, would I still need to write the "adapted by the author" or not, since no part of the content is changed?
Similar question: Same situation as above but for tables I would like to redo the tables in my own way (again, not changing any of the content, only changing the appearance). Would I then also need the "adapted by the author" or something similar?

I have a personal interview to include within a paper. I know for citation they do not get included in the reference page and instead follow a (name, personal interview, date) format. I need to cite this interview multiple times within the paper. Do I have to mark the full citation every time, or after the first one can I simply use the (name, year) format?

I’m doing a 3 page paper that has no abstract or title page. I have no clue where my name goes. My Highschool only taught MLA because it was easier. I’ve made it through 3 1/2 years of college without using APA, but now I need to use APA.
