APA 7Th
For each work used in the paper we form an in-text citation and a corresponding reference entry in a list at the end of the paper.
In-text citations appear at the body of the paper and provide the author's last name and the year of the work’s publication.
Citations can be parenthetical or narrative. In parenthetical citations the author’s last name and the year are given within a parenthesis, while in narrative
citations the authors name can appear in running text and the year of publication within a parenthesis.
Example:
Page numbers only needed in case of quotations (not paraphrases, not summaries).
Examples:
Author/authors
Work by three or more authors: Provide only the first author followed by et al.
Multiple works by different authors: Provide the works alphabetically and separate them with a semi colon.
Multiple works by same author: Provide the works chronologically starting from the oldest and separate them with a semi colon. Give author’s
name once.
Multiple works, same author, same year of publication: put an extra indication after year and list alphabetically but title.
Unauthored works: provide the title of work, or an abbreviated form of it, if it is long. For books, put title in italics. For articles or chapters, put title
in quotation marks.
Works by corporate author (e.g. organizations): (full name of corporate author, year)
If cited more than once, list the full name of organization for the first citation and put in square brackets the abbreviated form. For next citations
use only the abbreviation.

Page layout:
→ Reference List should always appear at the end of the paper, on a new, separate page.
→ All lines after the first line of each entry should be indented one-half inch (1,27 cm) from the left margin.
Order of references:
→ Two or more works by the same author: list them in order of publication date with the older one first.
→ Two or more works by the same author that have been published in the same year: list them alphabetically by title. Letters 'a', 'b', etc. are placed
after the year, e.g. (2019a), (2019b).
→ A work with no date is consider to be older than a work with a date (e.g.: n.d., 2010, 2015a, 2015b, 2020, in press).
→ Two or more works by the same first author and different subsequent authors: list alphabetically by second author.
→ For group authors (corporations, organizations etc.) give the full name, even though abbreviations may be used in your text.
→ Works in another language: provide the reference in the original language. For works in non-latin alphabet (e.g. greek), use a transcriptional
system to help you arrange the works (for further comprehension for the arrangement see Reference List example).
→ ‘’Nothing comes before something’’ when alphabetizing. That means that shorter names precede longer ones with which they share first letters.
For example, Smith precedes Smiths. It also means that one-author works precede multiple authors-works with same first author (e.g. Smiths, G.B.
(2022) precedes Smiths, G.B., & Jacobs, T.E. (2010)).
