Examples of APA 7th Citations for Books and Book Chapters

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:

  1. the book does not have a DOI 
  2. the URL is NOT from an academic research database
