Referencing guide for APA 7

APA (American Psychological Association) is a referencing style common within the fields of psychology and health sciences. APA is a so-called author-number style. The bibliography should be placed at the end of the document, be arranged alphabetically by authors' last names and should contain all necessary bibliographic information. The in text, references should contain the author(s) and the year of publication within parenthesis.

KIB:s guide for APA is especially for students at Karolinska Institutet. The references should be considered as recommendations based on APA 7 and in some cases with the support of Swedish cataloging rules for libraries. The guide for APA 7 was first published in 2020. 

Always ask your supervisor or teacher which style to use and be consistent in your text. When in doubt, double check with official manuals, contact the library for support and discuss with your supervisor or teacher at KI before submitting your thesis or assignment.
