ACADEMIC WRITING · APA 7TH EDITION

Journal article references

Identify the authors, publication year, article title, journal title, volume, issue, page range or article number, and DOI when available. Use sentence case for the article title. Italicize the journal title and volume; the issue number is not italicized.

Template only: replace every placeholder with information from the actual article.

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Year). Title of the article. Journal Title, volume(issue), xx–xx. https://doi.org/xxxxx

For a typical journal article from an academic database without a DOI, omit the database name and database URL. Publicly available articles without DOIs may require a direct URL.
