C- This is an area where there are frequent minor errors in APA style. Be sure to know the details of how to properly cite a journal article. APA style dictates that authors are named last name followed by initials; publication year goes between parentheses, followed by a period. The title of the article has only the first word and proper nouns in the title are capitalized. The periodical title utilizes capitals, and is followed by the volume number which, with the title, is also italicized. If a DOI has been assigned to the article that you are using, you should include this after the page numbers for the article.
The basic format
is:
Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, volume number(issue number), pages. //dx.doi.org/xx.xxx/yyyyy
C- Per APA 4.31 to 4.38, write out numbers as words to express numbers up to nine (e.g., three, seven, eight), and use numerals to express numbers 10 or above (e.g., 11, 23, 256). Exceptions include: Using words to express numbers when beginning a sentence, title, or heading with a number or dealing with a common fraction. Numbers should be expressed as numerals when numbers represent time, suggest a specific place in a series, represent scores or points on a scale, precede units of measurement, represent a part of a mathematical expression, represent exact sums of money, or appear in an abstract.
