APA 7 Citation & Style

In the video below, Keri from the Writing Center explains how to create an APA-style Reference entry for a textbook or other book source.

Reference entries for book sources (like textbooks) will include:

1. Author Last Name, First Initial.
2. (Date).
3. Title of book (ed.).
4. Publisher.

Example textbook source (with elements color-coded):

Frey, K.B. (2018). Surgical technology for the surgical technologist (5th ed.). Cengage.

Example textbook source (final, as it would appear on a Reference page):

Example in-text citation for this source (color-coded):

(Frey. 2018)
