Exercise #1

The American Psychological Association (APA) uses the following format when citing an article from an online journal :

Author's last name, Author's initial(s). (Year). Title of article. Journal Title, volume(issue).  Retrieved [date], from the World Wide Web: [URL]

An example using this format would look like the following:

Jacobson, J. W., Mulick, J. A., & Schwartz, A. A. (1995). A history of facilitated communication: Science, pseudoscience, and antiscience: Science working group on facilitated communication. American Psychologist, 50 (9). Retrieved March 14, 2001, from the World Wide Web: http://www.apa.org/journals/jacobson.html
