الأسئلة المتكررة
How do I cite a thesis that's not yet published or available online? ▼
You can still cite it with the institutional information: Author. (Year). Title [Doctoral dissertation, University Name]. Though it's recommended to wait for publication or archival in a repository.
Should I include the thesis advisor's name? ▼
No, APA format does not include the advisor's name in the citation. Only include it if the thesis was published as a book.
What's the difference between citing a dissertation and a master's thesis? ▼
The format is the same; just change [Doctoral dissertation, University] to [Master's thesis, University] accordingly.
