ACADEMIC WRITING · APA 7TH EDITION

Reference checklist

Check each entry against the source itself. Include all authors through 20; for 21 or more, include the first 19, an ellipsis, and the final author without an ampersand.

• Use the date for the work you actually consulted.
• Check title capitalization and italics.
• Make the source retrievable with the appropriate publisher, journal, DOI, or URL.
• Omit a book publisher’s location.
