Cite a book using the author - date format. If it is a direct quote, also include the page number. The related link, The OWL at Purdue, gives good examples depending on how many author's there are. For one author, directly quote, cite as follows, from The OWL at Purdue:
According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199).
She stated, "Students often had difficulty using APA style," but she did not offer an explanation as to why (Jones, 1998, p. 199).
To cite a source with five authors in APA format, list all authors' last names followed by their initials, separated by commas and an ampersand before the last author's name. Include the publication year in parentheses, the title of the work, the publication information, and the DOI or URL if available.
To cite an editor in a research paper or academic work, include their name followed by "(Ed.)" in parentheses after the editor's name in the reference list.
To cite a translation in MLA format, include the translator's name after the title of the work. For example: Last name, First name. Title of Work. Translated by First name Last name, Publisher, Year.
To cite your own unpublished work in APA format, you should include your name, the year the work was created, the title of the work, and the type of work (e.g., manuscript, paper). For example: Last name, First initial. (Year). Title of work Type of work.
When a work has two authors with the same last name, it is important to include their first initials in the citation to differentiate between them. This helps to accurately attribute the work to the correct author.
The authors who contributed equally to this work are list of authors.
The formats of referencing multiple authors are: If there are 2 authors then type in the authors by their last names and initials; use the ampersand instead of the word "and." If there is 3-7 authors then separate authors with a comma. The last author should be preceded by an ampersand instead of "and." If there is more than 7 authors then mention the first six first followed by a ". . ." and then mention the last author. No need to use the ampersand.
To properly MLA cite an unpublished work in your research paper, include the author's name, the title of the work in quotation marks, the type of work (e.g., manuscript, thesis), the date it was created, and the location where it is housed (if applicable). For example: Last name, First name. "Title of Work." Type of Work, Date Created, Location.
To cite editors in MLA format, list their names in the following format: Last name, First name, editor. Place the editor's name after the title of the work and before the publication information.
