Style notes for this reference type

  • APA 7 Publication Manual, pp.264, 320, 351
  • In the reference list, give the year, month and day, e.g., (2011, March 19).
  • If citing an editorial piece, add [Editorial] after the article title.
  • Precede page numbers with p. or pp. Include any section numbers or letters, e.g., pp. A1, A5. If the article runs over several non-consecutive pages, list them all, separated by commas, e.g., pp. 1, 4, 11.
  • In the in-text citation, include the title and year of publication for a work with an unknown author. Use quotation marks around this shortened version of the article title. Capitalise these titles even though sentence case is used in the reference list entry.
  • If a print article is in an online format, this should be treated as an online article.
  • The source, in this case the name of the newspapers is italicised for newspaper article references.
