APA Style (7th ed.)

To see information on referencing journal articles without DOIs, please see How Do I Reference a Journal Article in APA Style (no DOI)? If the journal article has a DOI, please see below:

Godfrey, D. (2005). Adapting historical citations to APA Style. Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media49(4), 544-547. https://doi.org/10.1207/s15506878jobem4904_15

  • Parenthetical citation: (Godfrey, 2005, p. 45)
  • Narrative citation: Godfrey (2005, p.45)
  • See example #1 on page 317 of the APA Style manual.
  • In this example, “49” is the volume number, and “(4)” is the issue number of the journal. As per APA rules, “place the issue number immediately after the volume number (with no space in between), and enclose the issue number in parentheses” (American Psychological Association, 2020, p.294)
  • For more information about DOIs, please see What is a DOI and How Is It Used in APA Style? and How Do I Reference a Periodical in APA Style?
