Hello everyone this is Jeff again we're gonna talk today
about how to put together an APA citation that you find for an article in
JSTOR
now JSTOR they don't really have such a great citation
creator such as EBSCO has so we're gonna king of use their citation thing but
just be aware we're gonna have to do a lot of editing to it
so we can go to view citation
I'm gonna copy this here highlight this
copy it I'm going to go into my word document I've already got it set up
for an APA page where there's References at the top
I'm gonna paste this in and as you can see it's pretty
pretty messed up so what we're gonna do these authors this needs to go
first before the title so we're gonna take these authors
I'm gonna cut this cut
go up here and I'm going to paste it in before the title
and OK and this we'll have to bring the title back up to this line but
you can see the authors are pretty messed up the last name needs
to go first and then the first initial so I'm just gonna look and see what it is
"B" I'll just cut that
put that here put a comma take
the "K" that should go at the end of Prior that name there
do a comma "G.M." should go at the end
of Loper
comma G.M. comma
this "and" in APA style should be an ampersand
and let's take a look here
and Bromenshenk J okay and the J should go at the end there because that's
a first initial
okay so there we go we got whoops
we got the authors in there now OK now we get the title
and the title we can just bring up I'm just going to hit delete and bring that up there
now in APA the title
only the first word should be capitalized unless they're proper names so
we're gonna take these words
where everything's capitalized here and bring this down
so everything's lower case except the first word in there
okay Bees scavenge airborne bacteria
okay we've got that in
and we should have a period at the end there
there we go okay now the
the name of the journal that's right that should be in italics there
I'm going to take italics
off then after the name the journal there should be a comma
then we should have the volume and the issue we don't need "Vol." in there
just the number and then
the volume number and the issue in parentheses like that
and oh you know what I forgot I forgot to put the year in APA after the author after
the last author there should be a year
I see 2000 right there we don't need the month I'm going to put 2000
there we go and after the 2000 there should be a period
after that parenthesis k we got that let me bring
the journal back up there we've got the volume we've got the issue
we can get rid of this now and
it's so specific and this is why I use one of the cheat sheets I have online or use the APA
manual all these little commas and periods
should have that for the pages which we have there we don't need
to put pp or page or anything at the beginning
so we'll just take that out 314-321
looks good now in APA we need to at the end say where we got this from
if we don't have a DOI digital object identifier
then we don't with this one so we're going say retrieved from
and then you put this in http://
www.jstor.org
that's enough there okay so after all that we've got all the text we need
let's fix this text now it's in the right font here that's good
let's go to paragraph and see if this will let us do we need to do the margin that's
right indentation
should be hanging indent let's see if it does it yeah it did it
okay it did that we'll make a double spaced don't add extra space
and there we go there's the citation okay so lemme
let's see it looks like maybe I added a little extra space there after that period there we go
so it takes a little doing takes a little doing to put together a
citation
from JSTOR and sometimes the APA sometimes it won't take the
hanging indent in where something about JSTOR's formatting but
that citation worked out pretty well that's a good-looking APA citation there
let me know if you have any questions about how to do this and this is one
this is one database at least right now that isn't too
citation creation friendly anyway
that is how you do it let me know if you have any questions on this I'd be more
than happy to go over
this with you one-on-one and this is Jeff signing off
