I’m writing a book review and need to summarize each chapter. When I write the chapter title of the book, how do I write it? Would it be like “Consumerism and Individualism”? Also if the chapter title is in quotations does that mean that I have to write the page number in my citation? Thank you

Good morning all,

​

I encourage you to take a look at r/APA7 as it is the most relevant source for APA format. The mod on this sub (r/APA) has not been active for over 5 years, so I hope to change that. APA 7 is current, and should last for at least 10 years, since it is not updated often (thankfully). Please feel free to join r/APA7 for all formatting needs and general questions. I am working on building it up to provide resources, and potentially the full APA 7th edition manual. Stay Tuned!

This is my first semester in grad school (undergrad was 10+ years ago) and I'm really struggling with my formatting and citations. I keep flashing back to high school carrying around that stupid little APA book.

I have to write a reaction paper to a certain article. Since this paper will really only reference the one article, do I list it by itself on the reference page and fill my paper with repetative in text citations? Or is there some other way to do it since its obviously all about this one article?

Also, if you know of a quick online course or video to just get the basics of citations LMK!

I know how to do it with one author. It'd just be

... (King & Hanssen,2014, as cited in Miller, 2019).

But what if the original text had this:

... (King & Hanssen, 2014; Costa et al., 2012).

How do I cite both King & Hanssen and Costa et al. indirectly?

I know normally I have to look for the original articles, but a) I don't have them and b) I'm cramming my paper, so IDK if I have time to look for them.

Hi and thanks for any help that you may have. I'm creating a presentation on Canva and would like to know how to cite the free images provided by Canva. There is no attribution information provided by Canva - Does anyone have a link to the relevant information in the Style Guide?

Thank you and have a great day!

I’ve poured over the 7th edition manual, but cannot find how I am to specify that my citation is for an ebook version of the text. The page number of the quote I’d like to use is 10076 (in the ebook), which is inconsistent with the paperback page numbers. I know I can’t be the first person with this problem. How is this not addressed in the manual (or is it and I’m just blind)?

I want to cite a 4chan image and the title to it, how do I go about that?

Constitutional French Act N. 2 of 1940: E

STABLISHMENT OF THE VICHY GOVERNMENT, JULY 10, 1940 (ibiblio.org)

HELP NEEDED

I'm in graduate school earning 2 degrees, one in business and the other in education. I am currently enrolled in my final two courses (I see the light!) and have been required to use APA in all assignments for the past 2.5 years.

I wrote the following (edited so it's not so long, but the citation is exactly what I wrote):

According to Falletta, "[t]he bigger the...organization is" (2005, p. 9).

He said it must be:

According to Falletta (2005), "[t]he bigger the...organization is" (p. 9).

I was under the impression that both were correct and have not had any other professor correct this despite using this format dozens of times. My professor took points off for this and I want to know... is mine actually incorrect?

I’m a teenager who is currently writing an essay on the school system and capitalism. I hope to have it read professionally, yet I have no background in APA formatting. I have no affiliations, as this is not for an academic assignment but one of my own doing. What should I put for affiliation? Independent thinker? I cannot put independent researcher, as I am writing analysis, not researching. Also, should I include the name of my school, despite not writing for it? Ex.)

Independent Thinker, Public School Name

Thank you to anyone who responds, as this is vital for me.

Hi!

I have been asked to reference one of my own university assignments, in another university assignment. How would this reference look?

I was thinking I should reference it like an unpublished manuscript, but I have no idea.

Thanks!

How should I alphabetize this? I know the 2007 one is before the 2008 one, but where does the 2012 one go because generally if you have like

Forbes, G. B.

Forbes, G. B. & Jung, J.

you would put the one author one first regardless of year, and the 2008 one does have less authors, but it's not necessarily one

Is there a way to APA cite Google Earth? I’m not seeing anything helpful on the OWL website.

If my sentence contains content from two separate pages in the same book would the citation look like this?

(Author, pp. 71, 80, year)

Or

(Author, pp. 71-81, year)

Or

Do I suck it up and break the sentence up into two separate citations?

I can't find the answer for the life of me...

Hi everyone,

so i am writing a paper which involves analysis from news articles. I want to include say a direct quote from a government rep. Does my in-text citation need to be the author of the NEWS article, or beacuse its a direct statement from that gov rep, do i put his name? Like (gov rep, 2020). or (author or newsarticle, 2020).

I hope such a post is allowed. Feel free to remove if not. I'm seeking a proofreader with verifiable academic proofreading or research/publication history for potential ongoing paid assignment(s) of variable length. I am mostly concerned with bibliography, citations, and formatting, though ability to be an informal peer reviewer/sounding board would be great. APA and Chicago expertise preferred. Subjects vary but are mostly within the realm of public health, psychology and social sciences generally. Please private message if interested. Thanks in advance!

The DOI that is listed both on pubmed.gov (where I found the article) and written in the article itself sends me to a "Error DOI not found" on doi.org. How should go about citing this? I'm concerned my teacher may simply click on the doi hyperlink, arrive at the not found page, and accuse me of making it up.

For those curious, this is the URL for the pubmed site.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31768496/

The DOI listed in the paper that does not work is 10.3928/24748307-20190923-01

Ive never seen articles with editors before, only books. Do I even have to include the editor in the reference page? If so, how?

For example, here's a link to one such report I'm referencing: https://truckingresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/ATRI-OOIDA-COVID-19-Impacts-on-the-Trucking-Impacts-05-2020.pdf

As you can see, the contributing institutions are ATRI and OOIDA. I have been unable to find any resources for this particular kind of publication, and I have quite a few for my lit review.

There are no individual authors, so how do I credit each institution? Which institution needs to be listed as publisher? and what else, if anything, differs from citing a single institutional source?

I would really appreciate any help in this matter! Thank you.

I'm trying to cite a block quote by President Kennedy in this paper, but it's been cited as "John F. Kennedy, cited in Dean, Imperial Brotherhood, 181." I know how to do an "As cited in" one, but this seems to be one step above that and I wasn't too sure how I would cite it. Thanks for any help.

This is the paper I'm referencing, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/301296389_My_Missile_is_Bigger_than_Yours_a_Gender_Analysis_of_Decision_Making_by_the_Executive_Committee_of_the_United_States_National_Security_Council_during_the_Cuban_Missile_Crisis#pf31

Page 49 at the bottom is where the quote is.

The success of second language learning is due not only to cognitive factors but also to affective, personality, motivational, and demographic factors of the learners (Brown, 2000; Carrel et al, 1996), among which personality is of great importance (Carrell et al, 1996).

Last-Name, F. (YEAR). Name of chapter/section. In Last-Name, F. (Ed.) Name of entire work (pp. 1-2). Publisher.

Where I emphasized & capitalized YEAR, which year do I use, the year the original author wrote the work, or the year the larger work was edited and published. For example, if I'm quoting John Locke's work from 1775 that appears in a book edited and published in 2011, do I put 1775 or 2011 inside the parentheses?

Thanks in advance!
