mention the sources one has referred <strong>to</strong> while writing research materials. Then a<br />

question ​how <strong>to</strong> <strong>make</strong> a <strong>bibliography</strong> <strong>apa</strong> appears. There some useful tips on<br />

how <strong>make</strong> it correctly.<br />

1. Mention the author’s last name<br />

The way it has been written or the ​<strong>apa</strong> formatted annotated <strong>bibliography</strong><br />

used relies on the guideline styling which is recommended <strong>to</strong> be used. For every<br />

source it is advised <strong>to</strong> use the authors’ last name and include the initials. So use<br />

a comma <strong>to</strong> separate last and first name of author. Then put a period after the<br />

initials has been fed and in a situation if there is need of mentioning 2 authors<br />

prefer using ampersand rather than using and. And if there is a need of<br />

mentioning 3 or more than 5 authors name you should place ampersand before<br />

the last author's initials, then use a comma between those authors name along<br />

with an ellipses <strong>to</strong> support the 6th author or the last author.


2. Mention the publication date<br />

Once the author name has been mentioned don't forget <strong>to</strong> mention the<br />

date when the written material was patented or copyrighted. Just in case if the<br />

work is unpublished, mention the date on which the material was written. So<br />

write the year in full which should be pursued by period.<br />

Example, book: (1992)<br />

Daily report: (1982) etc<br />

For a material with no date mentioned: (n.d)<br />

guidance for writing with concision, simplicity. Apa <strong>style</strong> is adapted by many<br />

writers around the world. When you will writing a thesis, dissertation, or<br />

The publisher name and location is only mentioned in the books. And<br />

once the book title has been listed, try <strong>to</strong> also list the book publication location.


Also insert the city and state or even country name. This should be followed<br />

with a colon and after that comes the name of the publisher. Follow the name of<br />

the publisher with a period.<br />

Example: Jamnagar, Gujarat, I00-India ( Lekhak house).<br />

5. Publication titles <strong>to</strong> be written in full<br />

Post <strong>to</strong> titling of material written, incorporate the publication name.<br />

Prefer using the entire name of the magazine, journal, newspaper and prefer<br />

using the similar capitalization followed by punctuations that a publication takes<br />

in<strong>to</strong> consideration. The major words of the material needs <strong>to</strong> be capitalized and<br />

publications name in italic form.<br />

6. Insert the URL of online publication<br />

While writing an article which was sourced from an online website. It is<br />

quite helpful while the URL has been added. In the end of the article or material<br />

written it is quite essential and helpful <strong>to</strong> add the URL for reference as <strong>to</strong> share<br />

where the information was extracted from. Also it is not manda<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>to</strong> mention<br />

the dates of APA references.<br />

7. Feed the source title.<br />

Once the name of the author and the date of the article written &<br />

mentioned the next thing <strong>to</strong> be added is <strong>to</strong> mention the source from which the<br />

title or <strong>to</strong>pic of the references followed with a period. Also the thing <strong>to</strong> be<br />

remembered is that only the first letter of the <strong>to</strong>pic title is <strong>to</strong> be kept and written<br />

in capital along with the subtitles if any. Keep the title in italic format and avert<br />

from capitalizing the journals, magazines and or newspaper. Also just enter<br />

these as normal text if possible.<br />
