WCCC's APA 7 Citation Guide

Revised 3 August 2020 1

WCCC’s APA 7 Citation Guide

Note: This is an abbreviated style guide, based on the types of items you will most likely be citing for your

research. A more detailed explanation of source documentation can be found in the APA Manual, 7

edition,

available in the Reserve collection behind the Circulation Desk in the library.

The WCCC Library also has a space on its website dedicated to APA information:

http://warren.libguides.com/APA7

Remember:

• The References list must start on a new page at the end of your paper and should be double spaced.

Center the title “References” at the top of the paper without the quotation marks and with no

underlining or bolded text.

• Alphabetize all types of sources in one list by the first word of the citation (other than the, a, or an).

• For long works such as books or journals, titles must be italicized. The titles of shorter works such

as journal articles or essays should not be italicized, underlined, or put in quotes.

• Include only those sources that you cited in the text of your paper.

• Capitalize all major words in journal titles. For all other titles (books, journal articles, and web

pages), capitalize only the first letter of the first word in the title and subtitle, the first word after any

punctuation, and proper names.

• When preparing your Reference page, you must double space all entries and use the hanging indent.

• For in-text citations, place the parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence(s) where the source

is used. Place the sentence’s end punctuation after the final parenthesis.

• When writing the text of your paper, there should only be one space after periods or other

punctuation that ends a sentence.

• When citing a source with more than three authors, for the in-text citation include the first author’s

last name followed with et al. For example: (Smith et al., 2020). However, on the reference list, list

all authors.

• Anytime you use a URL, it should be an active hyperlink.

CENGAGE TEXTBOOKS

There will be times, especially in discussion boards, when you will need to cite your Cengage textbooks.

These textbooks are considered eBooks. Because Cengage is a subscription service, the URL you will need

to use in your references list citation will be the portal page to Cengage, which is simply

http://www.cengage.com.

APA in-text (parenthetical) citations for direct quotes require a page number when using books. Because

Cengage textbooks don't always provide page numbers easily, you can also use chapter and/or section

numbers. The citation examples show you what this would look like.

These are citations for digital version of the Cengage textbooks. If you are using the print version of the

text, please see how to cite books in the next section.
