Perguntas frequentes
Should I include the issue number in an APA journal citation? ▼
Include the issue number in parentheses when each issue begins with page 1. If pages are numbered continuously through the volume, you may omit the issue number.
How do I format multiple authors in APA? ▼
Use (Last, First Initial.) for each author, separate with commas, and use '&' before the final author: (Smith, J., Johnson, M., & Williams, T.)
Is the DOI required if I have the URL? ▼
Prefer the DOI if available, as it's more stable. If only the URL is available, that's acceptable. Don't include both.
