Please check my APA Reference List?
Posted by admin on Jul 30, 2009
I have an APA correction exercise homework assignment due tomorrow and the professor gave us a paper with info about authors, titles, dates, etc to put together and make a reference list. I am using the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association but it is kind of confusing. I’m not asking you to do my homework, but please check it and give me critiques. I’m not sure about the ones with more than 3 authors…do I need to put "et al?" Do I need to leave off their PhDs and MAs? I do have indentions but they did not copy onto here that way. Thanks in advance!

I’ll try to help you as best as I can. For your reference list, you only use et al. if there are more than six authors. Now, in the text, if there are 3-5 authors, you want to list them all the first time (Tom, Jim, Sam & Harry, 2008), but the next time you cite them, you then use the et al (Tom et al., 2008). If there are more than six authors, you cite the first author followed by et al for the first and subsequent times.
For your first reference, change J-C to J.C.
For the second reference, I think you need a location before University of Chicago Press, but I’m not 100% sure.
You do not have to use the PhD, MD, MPH, or BA in your reference list. Also, no first names, just initials.
For the third reference, make sure you add a space between states and 348. (Same thing for the 4th reference between medicine and 291.)
For limited-circulation work, like a self-published reference, put in parentheses where the reference can be obtained.
Miller, C.G. (2008). (italics)APA style for newbies.(/italics). (Available from the author at Everyman University, 123 N. Main Street, Arlington, VA 22209).
Last reference, remove the comma between influenza and November. Everything else is fine.
Good luck!
