The tutorial shows you how to format your APA paper and cite correctly.

The 2 minute video shows how to create in-text citations (parentheticals) when you use APA style formatting.

There are multiple copies of the APA Publication Guide available throughout the libraries. The 7th Edition is the most recent. It has instructions for writing titles and abstracts for your papers and articles, as well as giving examples of proper terminology and reference citations.

The APA blog provides examples of how to cite books, journals, in-text citations, blogs and more. Just type your question in the search box at the top right of the site.

When you submit a manuscript for publication, you must include Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for all of the references that have a DOI assigned. To get DOIs, use the free service, CrossRef. You will need to register for a free account. Do note that to get the DOIs, you can paste all of your references at one time into the CrossRef search box or you can do one reference at a time. If there is a DOI for the articles, it will display in the results box. A digital object identifier (DOI) is a unique alphanumeric string assigned by a registration agency (the International DOI Foundation) to identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the Internet. The publisher assigns a DOI when your article is published and made available electronically.

Example:
Muldoon, K., Towse, J., Simms, V., Perra, O., & Menzies, V. (2012). A
longitudinal analysis of estimation, counting skills, and
mathematical ability across the first school year. Developmental
Psychology. Advance online publication. doi:10.1037/a0028240

This is a very helpful and well organized guide from the library at Georgia State University.
