3 In APA style, start with the author: Last name first, followed by initials.

4 Next comes the date of the issue of the journal. For a research journal, with continuous paging through all issues, the year is enough.

5 Next comes the title of the article. Notice that only the words at the beginning of the title and subtitle, and proper names, get a capital letter.

6 Next comes the title of the journal. All the main words are capitalized, and in italics.

7 Now type the volume number and issue number for the journal, followed by the page numbers of the article. after Elvis Presley’s tour. Journal of Popular Culture, 39 (1), 126-149.

8 The last bit of the citation is the DOI (Digital Object Identifier). This is a long number that identifies the publisher. Copy and paste this from the database; don’t try to type it. If you don’t see a DOI, go to http://www.crossref.org/guestquery to double check.
