A Note About Writing References

In the 7th edition of the APA manual, we are instructed to think of the document type, rather than the format (online, print, etc.) when determining how to write a reference for a source. This may take some adjustment for students accustomed to thinking about format first. If you need to cite a book, for example, seek out the book example, regardless of whether the book is print or digital.
