[CMST|4330|Jason Gilmore]

Citing Sources in APA

According to APA 7th Edition guidelines you need to find out as much information as you can about who created and published a source and when. You communicate this to your audience through in-text and Reference List citations which your readers can look up themselves.

Automatically Creating Citations in Library Article Collections

Many databases and article collections, plus many e-books, will automatically create citations for whichever article or chapter you are viewing.

Look for a Cite, Cite Now, or Cite This Item button on the record for the article or chapter you are viewing. (Not all databases have this feature. For example, LexisNexis does not).

Examples of different citation buttons:
Cite (Ebsco) Cite (Proquest) Cite This Item (JSTOR)

EBSCOhost databases

(e.g. Academic Search Ultimate)

ProQuest databases

(e.g. Newsstand)

JSTOR
