article review are “Effective Records Management Program in Organization,” “Records

promote transparency and prevent corruption.”

I cite the article I reviewed using APA 7th Edition for the citation. To offer consistent
and understandable documentation of the sources referenced in research papers, essays, and
other academic works, APA style is usually applied in academic writing, especially in social
scientific areas. The style contains instructions on how to structure papers, properly credit
sources, and make bibliographies and reference lists. Efficiency and precision in
communication are the goals of the APA style, making it easier for readers to find and
comprehend the sources cited in each work. The APA Style 6th Edition and the APA Style
7th Edition are the two versions of the style that are most frequently used.
