Tips
You do not need to fill in all fields within the reference template, only the fields applicable to the reference type. Any other details entered that are not part of the chosen style will not be included in your output.
- If you have a reference with more than one author, type it on a separate line by pressing Enter.
- Add an individual author's name by entering the Last Name first, followed by a comma (,) , then the other names, either in full or using initials. For example: Holloway, J. Christopher or Holloway, J. C.
- For group authors, (eg. corporations, associations, government agencies) add the name followed by a comma (,). For example: William Angliss Institute, This ensures the name formats correctly.
- Adding to the Keywords and Notes fields can be helpful for your own research, or to remind you why a particular reference is useful. These fields do not appear as part of a formatted reference.
- It is not necessary to use any of the following formatting options when completing a manual reference. Your reference will be formatted correctly in the APA Style.
