These templates have been created using the APA Manual 7th Edition and are approved by the faculty in the Wegmans School of Nursing. For citation of common sources like articles, books and websites, see the Lavery Library Citation Guide. The following sections of the manual were consulted to create the templates.

• 9.12: No author:
  “A work is treated as having no author when its author is unknown or cannot reasonably be determined. In this case, move the title of the work to the author position…” 
• 9.19 Format of the Title Element: 
  “For book and report references, enclose in parentheses after the title any additional information given in the publication for its identification and retrieval...”
• 9.30 Database and Archive Sources:
  “Provide the name of the database...when it publishes original, proprietary works available only in that database.”
• 9.34 When to Include DOIs and URLS:
  “For works from databases that publish...proprietary materials available only in that database, include the database or archive and the URL of the work.  If the URL requires a login...provide the URL of the database...homepage or login page instead of the URL for the work.  
• 10.1.14 Article from the UpToDate database:
  “Include the retrieval date because the content is designed to change over time and versions of the page are not archived.”

Remember to double space citations and indent the second and any subsequent lines of the citation.
