Answer 6

1
Type the name of the author, last name first. Use a comma to separate the first and last name. Then add the author's first initial. A period follows the first initial. If the writer has a middle initial, type that in next, followed by another period. If there are two authors, use an ampersand to separate their names. For example, one writer would be seen as Smith, R.B. Two authors would be shown as Smith, R.B., & Smith, A.

2
Type the year of the citation, in parentheses. Example: (1986).

3
Add the title of the article and the name of the publication, separated by a period. The name of the publication is written in italics and followed by a comma. Example: The Baby Tales. (italics) Mother Nature,

4
Follow the name of the publication with the volume and issue number, as well as the pages. The issue number is in parentheses, and a comma follows. The end of the citation is a period. Example: 11(1), 18-23.

5
View the citation for the journal article. In APA writing style, it should appear like this: Smith, R.B. (1986). The Baby Tales. (italics) Mother Nature, 11(1), 18-23. With two authors, the following should appear: Smith, R.B., & Smith, A. (1986). The Baby Tales. (italics) Mother Nature, 11(1), 18-23.
