2.Points to Note for APA Citations

    We must separate the four main parts of a citation (author, date, title, and publication details) with periods.Use commons within each part.Extra information is placed in parentheses.A later editions of a book is indicated after the title, in parentheses, and is not underlined or italicized.Intent the first line of an entry.The last name of each author is written before the initial(s).Only the initials of the authors' and editors' first names are used, not the complete first names.The year of publications is placed in parenthese.The title of an articles is not underlined, but the title of a periodical is underlined or in italics.The volume number of a journal is underlined or in italics.The titles of a book is underlined or in italics.Titles of books and articles in erference list are not capitalied throughout.Capitalize only the first letter of the first word,the first letter of the first word after a colun, and the first letter of a proper name.In the title of a journal, captilize the first letter of the first word and the first letter of each major word.When no author is given for a book or article, start with the title with alphabetizing.When there is a corporate author or editor, put the name of the corporate author or editor in author position for alphabetization purposes.Abbreviate the full name of the publishing company as much as possible by omiting initials and word such as company or corporation,(For example,write only "Norton" instead of "W.W.Norton and Company.") Instead of and, use the symol "&" between names of authors.
