Explanation. Place the edition number in parentheses after the book title. Follow by “ed.” and a period outside the parentheses. There is no period after the book title.

The APA Style manual asks that both journal article manuscripts and student papers display a page number on the title page, but students should follow the guidelines of their course instructor to determine the appropriate title page format.

Insert page numbers in the top right corner. The page number should show on all pages.

Title and subtitle are separated by a colon. Capitalize only the first word of the title and subtitle, and any proper nouns.

Use at least two subheadings for each section and subsection, or use none. Start with level 1 through 5. Paragraph begins below levels 1 and 2, whereas for levels 3-5, the paragraph begins in line with the headings. Capitalize each word for levels 1 and 2.

When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, like, for example, (Jones, 1998). One complete reference for each source should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.

Basic format to reference a book

1. Author or authors. The surname is followed by first initials.
2. Year of publication of the book (in round brackets).
3. Book title (in italics).
4. Edition (in round brackets), if other than first.
5. Publisher.
6. DOI.
7. The first line of each citation is left adjusted.

Book with Two Authors Title of book (3rd ed.). Title of book [Audiobook]. Publisher Name. *The DOI of a book (found in some books published 2018 & forward) can be found on the copyright page of printed & ebooks.

last name, first name. Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium of Publication.

Italicize titles if the source is self-contained and independent. Titles of books, plays, films, periodicals, databases, and websites are italicized. Place titles in quotation marks if the source is part of a larger work. Articles, essays, chapters, poems, webpages, songs, and speeches are placed in quotation marks.

Titles describe not only the role and responsibility of the person they’re associated with, they also demonstrate the level of achievement one has in their profession. Promotions often come with title changes to signify an elevated status.

In general, you should italicize the titles of long works, like books, movies, or record albums. Use quotation marks for the titles of shorter pieces of work: poems, articles, book chapters, songs, T.V.

In all cases of usage involving quotation marks (again, American usage, not British), commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks while semicolons and colons always go outside. Notice that the commas separating the titles are inside the quotation marks.

Use double quotation marks around the title of an article or chapter, and italicize the title of a periodical, book, brochure, or report. Examples: From the book Study Guide (2000) or (“Reading,” 1999).

Quotation marks should be used around the titles of books, plays and movies. Event titles should not include details like event sponsor.
