Navigating Academic Citations: A Deep Dive into APA 7th Edition
The provided excerpt from an academic resource meticulously outlines citation guidelines, specifically focusing on journal articles within the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition style.
Let’s dissect these examples to gain a comprehensive understanding of their application.
Translated Journal Articles: Bridging Linguistic Gaps
The first example, referencing Piaget’s work, highlights the nuances of citing translated journal articles:
“Piaget, J. (1972).
Intellectual evolution from adolescence to adulthood (J.
Bliss & H.
Furth, Trans.).
Human Development, 15(1), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1159/000271225 (Original work published 1970)”
This demonstrates that the citation should include the year of the translated publication (1972) alongside the details of the translators (J.
Bliss & H.
Furth).
Importantly, the original publication year (1970) is noted in parentheses.
The parenthetical citation is displayed as: (Piaget, 1970/1972) and the narrative citation: Piaget (1970/1972).
As the note suggests, “For more on translated works, see Section 9.39.”, indicating that further detailed instructions are readily available.
Reprinted Journal Articles: Tracing Publication History
The second example addresses reprinted journal articles, a scenario where a work is republished in a different source.
The example given is:
“Shore, M.
F. (2014).
Marking time in the land of plenty: Reflections on mental health in the United States.
American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 84(6), 611-618. https://doi.org/10.1037/h0100165 (Reprinted from “Marking time in the land of plenty: Reflections on mental health in the United States,” 1981, American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 51[3], 391-402, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1939-0025.1981 tb01388.x)”
Here, the citation prioritizes the details of the reprinted version (2014).
Crucially, it includes the original publication information in parentheses: title, year (1981), source, and DOI.
The Parenthetical citation is: (Shore, 1981/2014), and the narrative citation: Shore (1981/2014).
The instructions accompanying this example reinforce the importance of accuracy: “Provide information for the reprinted version that you used; then provide in parentheses the original article title (even if the title did not change), year, and source information (see Section 9.40).” and “Place the original issue number in square brackets rather than in parentheses to avoid nested parentheses.”.
These guidelines emphasize clarity and the avoidance of ambiguity in citations.
Special Sections and Issues: Acknowledging Editorial Focus
The final set of examples focuses on special sections or issues within a journal, highlighting the role of editors in curating thematic content.
“Lilienfeld, S.
O. (Ed.). (2018).
Heterodox issues in psychology [Special section].
Archives of Scientific Psychology, 6(1), 51-104.”
“McDaniel, S.
H., Salas, E., & Kazak, A.
E. (Eds.). (2018).
The science of teamwork [Special issue].
American Psychologist, 73(4).”
These examples demonstrate how to cite these specialized publications.
The editor(s) are listed in the author position, followed by (Ed.) or (Eds.).
The title of the special section or issue is included in the title position.
Parenthetical citations would be: (Lilienfeld, 2018; McDaniel et al., 2018) and narrative citations: Lilienfeld (2018) and McDaniel et al. (2018).
Note that a page range is provided for a special section but *not* for a special issue.
The instructions clarify this distinction and emphasize following the publication’s formatting conventions precisely: “List the editor(s) of the special section or issue in the author position and the title of the special section or issue in the title position.”, “Provide the page range for a special section.
Do not provide a page range for a special issue.”, and “Some publishers include an “S” in issue numbers for special issues.
In the reference, write the issue number exactly as shown in the publication.”
Conclusion
These examples, taken directly from a reputable guide, emphasize the meticulous nature of academic citations.
They show the importance of accurately representing the publication history and editorial context of scholarly works.
Adhering to these guidelines ensures proper attribution and facilitates the transparent communication of research within the academic community.
Understanding and applying these rules is crucial for students, researchers, and academics alike.
