• APA 7 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 is in sentence-case, meaning only the first word in the title and subtitle and any proper nouns in the title are capitalized.
• The periodical title is run in title case, and is followed by the volume number which, with the title, is also italicized.
• The issue number is not italicized, but placed in parentheses, followed by a comma and the page range. 
• If a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) has been assigned to the article that you are using, you should include this after the page numbers for the article.

• If a journal article has a DOI, include the DOI in the reference.
• If the journal article does not have a DOI and is from an academic research database, end the reference after the page range. The reference in this case is the same as for a print journal article.
• If the journal article does not have a DOI but does have a URL that will resolve for readers (e.g., it is from an online journal that is not part of a database), include the URL of the article at the end of the reference.
• Do not include database information in the reference.
