Citation Tips

For multiple authors, separate names with commas and use ampersands (&) as appropriate for the citation style.
Book and journal titles typically use title case (capitalize major words).
Article and chapter titles often use sentence case in APA (capitalize only the first word, proper nouns, and after colons).
Double-check your citation against the style guide for your specific field or institution.
