 This video will show you how to cite articles in A.P.A.7 and tell you where to get help if you have more questions. First, gather your information. You'll need authors' names, publication year, and day and month if available, title of both the article and the source where it was published, like the Journal or magazine, volume and issue if applicable, page numbers, a DOI or digital object identifier if available. You can use the video citing an article on the BC Libraries YouTube channel to learn how to find this information for the articles in a commonly used library database. Once you have the pieces, you just need to arrange them into A.P.A. shape. First, add the author's name, last name, comma, first initial, period, second initial, period. Or for two authors, last name, comma, initials with periods, ampersand symbol, second author's last name, comma, initials with periods. If there are multiple authors, list them in the order they appear in the work, do not alphabetize them or change the order in any other way. For three to twenty authors, list all author names in the same format, putting the ampersand before the last author's name. Next, add the publication year and parentheses and then place a period. If you're citing a scholarly article, you usually only need the year. If you're citing a magazine or newspaper article, add a comma and then the month or month and day with publication. Add the title of the article. Capitalize only the first word of the article, any proper nouns, and the first word after a colon. If you ever use the citation suggested by databases, this is one thing you always want to be sure to double check before you paste it into your project. Follow the title with a period. Next, in italics, add the title of the source, such as the newspaper, magazine, or journal where the article was published. Capitalize all words of the source's title. If your source has a volume and issue, comment for journal articles, add the volume number in italics, and then add the issue number in parentheses, but not italics, with no space in between them. So for something in volume five, issue one, put five in italics, and then immediately a non-italicized open parenthesis, the number one, and a closed parenthesis. After that, add a comma and then the page range for the article. You don't need to add the letter P first, only the pages. Add a period after this. Last, add the DOI if one is available. This looks like a URL that starts HTTPSDOI.org, and it will be the same no matter which database you find the article on. That's the basic format.
