== '''General Guidelines''' ==
The Publication Manual of the APA (6th edition) includes scant information about how to cite document types common to business; in some cases there are different ways to interpret how to cite a specific item. The manual does state that when it offers no examples for the type of document to be cited, then you should find the closest example and use it to build your citation, which is what we have done with this guide (see p. 193, para.2 for more information on this rule).

=== '''In text citations''' ===
Capitalize all major words in titles within the body of the paper (Rule 4.15, p.101).

Example
* According to the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence Survey of 2010 [...]
* In the book Business Ethics as Rational Choice, Hooker claims that [...]

Example
* According to Marketline (2010),..."direct_quotation" (p. 34).
* "Direct_quotation"... (Acer, Inc., 2010, p. 17).

When paraphrasing from a source, or when referring to an idea contained in another work, you are encouraged to provide a page number (Rule 6.04 p. 171).
If there is no date of publication, use the abbreviation (n.d.).
List two or more works by different authors who are cited within the same parentheses in alphabetical order by the first author's surname or group/organization name (Rule 6.16 p. 177).

Example 
(Bureau van Dijk, 2010; Datamonitor, 2009; Simpson, 2010)

It is acceptable to abbreviate long names in the second and following in-text references. Just be sure to give the reader enough information to be able to match the in text reference to the citation in the reference list.

REPORTS, BOOKS AND JOURNALS

- give the year the work was published

MAGAZINES, NEWSLETTERS, NEWSPAPERS

give the year and the exact date of the publication (month or month and day), e.g.: (2012, April) or (2008, May 15); if given as a season, give the year and the season, e.g.: (2008, Spring)

WEBSITES AND WEBPAGES (from the APA Style blog)

If the publication date is not clearly mentioned at the beginning of the document, look at the end (e.g. a statement that may say something like: "this document was finalized in 1990...", so that would be the date to use).

If a footer on a webpage says, “This page was last modified on [date]”, then this is NOT the date to use. It COULD be the date that the document was published, but it may also be the date when the webmaster added some code to the page.

Some sites place a copyright date for the website at the bottom of every page. Check a few pages on the site; if the identical statement appears on every page, it’s a site-wide footer, so that’s NOT the date to use. In that case, if no actual publicationdate can be found, enter (n.d.)

NO DATE AVAILABLE

write (n.d.)

'''DRAFT:''' '''This guide is still a work in progress. Many of the entries are still being clarified and need to be edited. Please do not use this guide as an authoritative source!'''

Welcome to the '''Business Resource APA Citation Guide''' -- a project of the Business Librarians of BC, a network of academic business librarians throughout the province..

This guide was created to provide assistance with citation for business sources, many of which can be difficult to fit into the templates of common citation styles. It is based on the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th ed. All page and section numbers refer to this manual.

Although the guide also contains some general guidance on using the APA citation style, its main focus is complex business sources. We recommend that you visit your local library's website for areas of APA that are not covered here.

To edit this wiki you must be a contributor associated with the Business Librarians of B.C.

== What this guide is for ==

This guide was created to provide assistance with citation for business sources. It also contains general guidance on using the APA citation style.

== What this guide is not for ==

* This guide is not focused on common types of sources that are covered well by other APA guides (e.g., books, most journal articles, or basic websites).
* It also isn't intended as a place where you can ask citation questions. Please contact your local library if none of the resources listed in this guide come close to the specific resource and issue you are dealing with.

== Who is responsible ==

This APA Guide is a result of a collaborative effort of many BC College and University Librarians.

== History ==

'''Fall 2014: Idea'''

The idea for this guide first came up during a meeting of the Business Librarians of BC (BUSLIB-BC) group around 2014. We were sharing news about recent initiatives and efforts at our institutions when a theme became obvious: many of us had just created or updated guides to using APA with business resources!

There was a brief pause in the meeting, then the discussion switched over to how incredibly inefficient it was for us all to be making such similar guides. We decided to look into how (and who... and when) to create a joint guide -- one that would have a BC focus (BC librarians building it, BC examples used where possible) and that would provide consistent, current, and quality citation examples for all BC researchers. Ideally (because what good is a dream without ideals at the core?), the guide would also serve as

'''Spring 2015: Proposal drafted'''

Sarah Parker (then at SFU) and Anita Chan (then at Capilano University) started off our collaborative project in the best possible way -- by collaborating on a proposal. They investigated possible platforms, recommended procedures for creating and maintaining the guide, and worked out a process for sharing responsibility in a way that would spread the joy and the work without overwhelming anyone.

'''Summer 2015: Proposal accepted'''

The BUSLIB-BC team met and approved the draft proposal, then formed a working group to take it to the next stage. That group had a few business librarians (Linda Matsuba and Deirdre Grace of BCIT, plus Mark Bodnar of SFU), as well as an APA/citation expert (Ulrike Kestler of Kwantlen Polytechnic University). Brandon Weigel of the BC Electronic Library Network (ELN) was also available to the group for assistance as required.

'''Fall 2015: First attempt'''

Sarah Parker (SFU) built the initial wiki (a huge task that involved much investigation and experimentation with possible extensions) on the ELN servers with assistance from ELN folks and documented key procedures. ELN was chosen as a neutral site, in part because that meant that the wiki wouldn't appear to be "owned by" (and the sole responsibility of) any single institution.

'''Spring 2016: Rebuilding and extending'''

Sadly, the wiki framework had to be rebuilt, and many of the initial extensions had to be replaced due to some security issues, but the working group got all that done in Spring 2016. The intention at this point is to finish adding content over the summer and have a finished tool ready to launch by Fall 2016.

Example
* According to the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence Survey of 2010 [...]
* In the book Business Ethics as Rational Choice, Hooker claims that [...]

''Note'': In reference lists, capitalize only the first word of the title and of the subtitle. Also capitalize proper nouns.

When quoting from print sources or online articles, give the author, year, and page number in parentheses (Rule 6.03, pp.170 - 171).

* According to Marketline (2010),..."direct_quotation" (p. 34).

Many electronic sources do not provide page numbers. If there is no page number, use paragraph numbers preceded by the abbreviation 'para.' (Rule 6.05 pp. 171-172).
If a source contains neither page nor paragraph numbers, cite the heading (shorten the heading if it is long) (Rule 6.05 pp. 171-172).
