📖 APA 7 Citation Rules & DOI Best Practices

How should DOIs be presented in APA 7?

In APA 7, all DOIs must be formatted as live HTTPS hyperlinks: 'https://doi.org/10.xxxx/xxxxx'. Legacy prefixes like 'doi:' or 'http://dx.doi.org' are deprecated. Do not add a trailing period after the DOI URL.

What are the author listing rules in APA 7?

List up to 20 authors in the reference list (using an ampersand '&' before the final author in English). For works with 21 or more authors, list the first 19 authors, followed by an ellipsis (...), and then the final author's name (without an ampersand).

How are journal volume and issue numbers styled?

The journal title and volume number must be italicized (e.g., *Behavior Research Methods*, *39*). The issue number is enclosed in parentheses and is NOT italicized: *39*(2).
