APA Style Guide to Electronic Resources Retrieval date: No date necessary for content unlikely to change or to be updated (i.e. published journal articles) Name and location of source: Use a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) if available

DOI – Digital Object Indentifier Not every article will have a DOI IF a DOI is present, you don’t need to cite the database name. The DOI is unique to each article. Easiest to copy and paste a DOI in a citation than to try and type it.

Example Sellbom, M., Fischler, G., & Ben- Porath, Y. (2007). Identifying MMPI- 2 Predictors of police officer integrity and misconduct. Criminal Justice and Behavior, 34(8), doi: / /

How to cite an online source within your paper The information on the following slide was retrieved from the APA website: Electronic References: Citations in Text of Electronic Material

How to cite an online source within your paper For electronic sources that do not provide page numbers, use the paragraph number, if available, preceded by the paragraph symbol or the abbreviation para. If neither paragraph nor page numbers are visible, cite the heading and the number of the paragraph following it to direct the reader to the location of the material (see section 3.39). (Myers, 2000, ¶ 5) (Beutler, 2000, Conclusion section, para. 1)
