Question 6

All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list
should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This is
called hanging indentation.
 All authors’ names should be inverted (i.e., last names should be
provided first).
 Authors’ first and middle names should be written as initials.
 For example, Jane Marie Smith would be “Smith, J. M.” or “Smith, J.” if
the middle initial name isn’t available.
Give the last name and first/middle initials for all authors of a
particular work up to and including 20 authors (this is a new rule,
as APA 6 only required the first six authors). Separate each
author’s initials from the next author in the list with a comma. Use
an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name. If there are 21 or
more authors, use an ellipsis (but no ampersand) after the 19th
author, and then add the final author’s name.
 Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of
the first author of each work
For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the
same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest
to most recent.
 When referring to the titles of books, chapters, articles, reports,
webpages, or other sources, capitalize only the first letter of the
first word of the title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a
dash in the title, and proper nouns.
Citing Sources
Italicize titles of longer works (e.g., books, edited
collections, names of newspapers, and so on).
* Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the
titles of shorter works such as chapters in books or
essays in edited collections.

described above.
Capitalize the first word of the titles and
subtitles of journal articles, as well as the first word
after a colon or a dash in the title, and any proper
nouns.
