 This video explains how to include journal articles in your reference list according to APA style 6th edition. I will show you how to reference both print and online journal articles, including how to locate the DOI number, and what to do for articles without a DOI number. For in-text citation, see our video, Referencing Sources in APA Style of Basic Introduction. In this example, all the punctuation is in red for emphasis. In your actual reference list, all font would be black. Start with the author's last name, followed by their initials. In APA style, you never write out the full first or middle names. Enter the year the article was published in parentheses, followed by a period. Next, enter the title of the article. In APA style, the first letter of every word of an article title is not capitalized, just the first letter of the first word, the first word of the subtitle, and proper nouns. Next, enter the name of the journal in italics. In APA style, you capitalize the first letter of every major word in a journal's title, except little words like of. After the comma, enter the volume number. The volume number is also in italics. It's followed by the issue number in parentheses. Notice there is no space between the volume and issue number. Lastly, enter the page numbers of the article. Don't forget a period at the end. You probably accessed most of the articles you're using online. For online journal articles, you add the DOI number or digital object identifier. You don't have to indicate what article index you used. Notice there's no period after the DOI number. But where do you find all of that information? Everything you need is usually right there in the journal article. Whether you're using a print journal or you have a PDF of an online journal article, you can easily find the title and author and the journal name, volume, issue, and date are normally on each page as either a header or a footer. If the DOI number isn't there, check the full record in the article index that you used to locate the article. Most online articles will have a DOI number. But what if there's no DOI number given? In that case, APA suggests providing the URL for the home page of that journal. Don't just copy and paste a direct link to the article itself. This is one time when a librarian will actually tell you to use Google. Google the name of the journal. It's helpful to put quotation marks around it. This is the URL you need to copy and paste. After the page numbers, type Retrieved By and paste the URL of the journal's home page. The URL should not be hyperlinked or underlined. It should be in the same font as the rest of the reference.
