How do you cite Guinness world records?

Answer 1

If you are using the APA 6th edition as I am, It would look something like this:

Guinness World Records. (2005). Guinness World Records 2006. New York: Jim Pattison Group.

The author is corporate, so simply use their corporate name.

The italicised title should be altered depending on which book you're referencing (IE, Guinness World Records 2013). You will need to change the bracketed date also, which indicates the year of publication. Interestingly, the 2006 edition in particular was published in 2005, so be on the lookout for that.

Jim Pattison Group is responsible for publishing, but Guinness World Records HQ is in New York. That's the best I could do in terms of location.

That's the basics. Alter depending on your preferred referencing style.

Answer 2

To cite Guinness World Records in APA format, follow this structure: Author Last Name, Initial(s). (Year). Title of the specific entry or record. In Guinness World Records. Retrieved from URL. Place the relevant information into this format to create a proper citation.

Answer 3

Guinness World Records maintains a database of all their current and past world records at their London headquarters.

Answer 4

Guinness world record books are found in the same places that other books are found: book stores and libraries.
