APA 7th Citation Guide

General Guidelines

• Ensure your punctuation is correct

  • eNews article title: Write the news article title in sentence case and in italics. 
  • eNews title: In title case, e.g., HuffPost

• Ensure your formatting is correct
  • ​Follow our red format structure and view our examples in black. E.g., Look at the elements of the reference we have italicized. You also italicize that same element in your reference.
  • Note the difference between eNewspaper articles - the article title is italicized and the source it belongs to is not. That is because the article is published by the website as opposed to an eNewspaper or eMagazine.

• Insert the stable URL to the article - not to the database link - after the eNews article: Get tips for finding the URL from the eMagazine article page. 

Format

Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day of publication). Title of article in sentence case. Title of eNews source in Title Case. http://xxxxx - only if freely accessible, e.g. the URL of the eNews or eTabloid story online
