Paper For Above instruction

APA referencing is a critical component of academic writing, ensuring proper attribution of sources and enhancing the credibility of scholarly work. The APA style guide provides specific formats for different types of sources, including books, articles, and digital content. This paper explores comprehensive examples of APA reference list entries across various source types, emphasizing correct formatting, in-text citations, and integration into academic arguments.

Books with Single Author

A classic example of a book citation with a single author is Gore’s (2006) work, which is formatted as follows: Gore, A. (2006). An inconvenient truth: The planetary emergency of global warming and what we can do about it. Emmaus, PA: Rodale. The in-text citation for this source is (Gore, 2006). This straightforward format includes the author's last name, initial(s), publication year, italics for the book title, publisher location, and publisher name, following APA's guidelines for book references.

Books with Two Authors

When citing a book with two authors, list both names connected by an ampersand (&). For example, Michaels and Balling’s (2000) book is cited as: Michaels, P. J., & Balling, R. C., Jr. (2000). The satanic gases: Clearing the air about global warming. Washington, DC: Cato Institute. The in-text citation becomes (Michaels & Balling, 2000). Proper formatting ensures clarity in attribution and adherence to APA standards.

Edited Book as Author

When the work is an edited volume, the editor’s initials and last name are followed by (Ed.) or (Eds.) for multiple editors. For instance: Galley, K. E. (Ed.). (2004). Global climate change and wildlife in North America. Bethesda, MD: Wildlife Society. In-text citation: (Galley, 2004).

Brochure or Pamphlet

For non-traditional sources like brochures, APA recommends including the author (organization), year, title in italics, format in brackets, and publisher location. Example: New York State Department of Health. (2002). After a sexual assault. [Brochure]. Albany, NY: Author. In-text citation: (New York, 2002).

Anonymous Book

When the author is anonymous, the title moves to the author position: Environmental resource handbook. (2001). Millerton, NY: Grey House. In-text: (Environmental Resource Handbook, 2001). The guiding principle is to use the abbreviation Author if no individual or organization is responsible.

Articles in Reference Books

For entries like encyclopedia articles, include the article title, year, the book or encyclopedia name, volume and page numbers if applicable. Examples:

  • Greenhouse effect. (2005). American Heritage Science Dictionary. Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin.
  • Schneider, S. H. (2000). Greenhouse effect. World Book Encyclopedia (Millennium ed., Vol. 8, pp. 123-124). Chicago, IL: World Book.

In-text: (Greenhouse effect, 2005); (Schneider, 2000).

Magazine Articles

Magazine articles follow this structure: author(s), publication date, article title, magazine name, volume(issue), and page numbers. For example:

  • Allen, L. (2004, August). Will Tuvalu disappear beneath the sea? Smithsonian, 35(5), 44-52.
  • Begley, S., & Murr, A. (2007, July 2). Which of these is not causing global warming? Newsweek, 150(2), 48-50.

In-text: (Allen, 2004); (Begley & Murr, 2007).

Newspaper Articles

For newspaper citations, include author, date, article title, newspaper name, and page number if available:

  • Unattributed: College officials agree to cut greenhouse gases. (2007, June 13). Albany Times Union, p. A4.
  • Landler, M. (2007, June 2). Bush’s greenhouse gas plan throws Europe off guard. New York Times, p. A7.

In-text: (“College officials,” 2007); (Landler, 2007).

Journal Articles with Continuous Paging

This format is used when journal pages are numbered consecutively throughout a volume: Miller-Rushing et al. (2006) analyzed the use of photographs and herbarium specimens. Format: Miller-Rushing, A. J., Primack, R. B., Primack, D., & Mukunda, S. (2006). Photographs and herbarium specimens as tools to document phonological changes in response to global warming. American Journal of Botany, 93, 1234-1245.

In-text: (Miller-Rushing et al., 2006).

Note: For journal articles with each issue starting at page 1, specify the issue number and pages accordingly, e.g., Bogdonoff & Rubin, 2007, p. 9-16.

Articles from Subscription Databases with DOI

In this case, include the article, journal name, volume, page range, and DOI. Example: Mora, C., & Maya, M. F. (2006). Effect of the rate of temperature increase on heat tolerance of fishes. Journal of Thermal Biology, 31, 123-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtherbio.2006.01.055

In-text: (Mora & Maya, 2006).

Websites

Author or organization. (Year, Month Day). Title of web page. Website Name. URL

Example: United States Environmental Protection Agency. (2007, May 4). Climate change. EPA Website. https://www.epa.gov/climatechange

In-text: (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2007).

Alternatively, if no individual author, the organization name can be used as author. When citing entire websites, include URL only, without retrieval date unless content is likely to change.
