How it works

APA (American Psychological Association), 7th edition, requires a specific order for each source type: author, year in parentheses, title, then medium-specific information (publisher for a book, journal and page range for an article, site and URL for a web page). This generator automatically assembles these elements in the correct order and with the expected punctuation.

How do I format the author's name?

APA expects "Last name, Initial(s) of first name." — e.g., "Hugo, V." for Victor Hugo. For multiple authors, separate them with commas and use "&" before the last author (e.g., "Dupont, A., & Martin, B.").

What if my article doesn't have a DOI?

The URL/DOI field is optional: if your article has no DOI, you can either leave the field blank or provide the URL of the page where you accessed the article, if it is freely available.
