APA Style Examples

A References page lists all of the sources cited throughout a paper. Reference list entries generally include the author, date, title, and source. Here are commonly cited types of sources and example references.

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Year of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number(issue number), page range. https://doi.org/10.0000/0000

If a journal article has a number instead of a page range, use the word "Article" followed by the article number in place of the page range. For example:
