Citing Books and Chapters of Books
APA 7th guidelines:
Treat the authors, date, and title as before (with the title in italics).
APA 7th requires an edition number after the title e.g. (4th ed) but this is not in italics.
APA 7th no longer requires a “place of publication” - just the name of the publisher.
APA 7th - For ebooks only use a DOI if it exists. Only use a URL if:
