APA Style (7th ed.)

If the factbooks were each written by different departments of the university and are treated as separate resources, you could use a multiple author citation to show that the information has been compiled from numerous sources. Please see How Do I Format a Multi-author In-text Citation in APA Style? for more information. 

If the booklets are treated as separate resources, were all authored by the university, and were published in the same year, you'll need to distinguish between them in the in-text citations and cite each booklet separately in the references. Please see How Do I Cite Two or More Resources by the Same Author That Were Published in the Same Year in APA Style?.

If you're treating the booklets as separate volumes in a multivolume work, see the formatting below that has been adapted from Example 30 on page 323 of the APA Style manual:

Author, A., & Author, B. (year). Series title: Vol.#. Title of booklet. Publisher. URL

  • If the series doesn't have a title, omit that information and provide the volume number in parentheses, without italics, after the title of the booklet (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 320)
  • In-text citation: (Author & Author, year, p. X)

If the booklet is a book in a series, see below for formatting adapted from Example 31 on page 323 of the APA Style manual:

Author, A., & Author, B. (year). Booklet title. Publisher. URL

  • "For a series of conceptually related titles, the series title is not included in the reference" (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 324).
  • In-text citation: (Author & Author, year, p. X)
