Colgate Citation Style Guide

Chicago, MLA & APA styles

APA

These guidelines are based on the advice from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th edition, published in 2019, as well as the APA Style Blog. Design and layout of materials is based on Diana Hacker's "Research and Documentation Online, 5th edition" accessed March 2014. This style guide is most often used in courses for Social Sciences and Natural Sciences. Read the Purdue OWL page on the updates to the 7th edition for more information.

Standard Book Format
LastName, Initial. (Year). Book title. Publisher.
Standard Article Format

LastName, Initial. (Year). Article title. Journal Title, volume(issue), page-range.

Special Tips and General Rules:

  • If you are using signal phrases in your writing, you should use the past tense or present perfect tense. For example, "Smith (2005) reported; Smith (2005) has argued."
  • 7th edition no longer requires the "retrieves from" on URL citations, unless you are including an access date. Include the date you retrieved the item if it is something that is likely to change (such as a Wikipedia article). Ex. "Retrieved January 3, 2015 from: http://lj.libraryjournal.com" .Also, include the title of the website with the title of the webpage. 
  • Always use italics for the journal title, book title, and the journal volume.
  • Do not use quotemarks for the title of a journal article.
  • If you can't find the date, then use n.d. for "no date," even in the In Text citation.
  • DOI's should include the https://doi.org/ prefix before the DOI number, so that it is an active link. 
  • In the bibliography, include up to 20 names of authors. 
  • The 7th edition no longer requires the place of publication, just the publisher's name. 

For a tutorial on creating APA-style citations, please see the APA Style Guide website., or view this video.
