An APA style citation for an encyclopedia article
This type of APA reference is much like a book with a couple of additions.
Author (person or institute)
Editor
Article title
Encyclopedia’s name
Page numbers
Publisher
Place of publications
Publication year
Edition
Volume number
The APA style citation would look like this.
Columbia University. (2004). Human Genome Project. (P. Lagasse, Ed.). The Columbia Encyclopedia ( (Sixth), p. 22847). New York: Columbia University Press.
Since this is a monster of an encyclopedia, we’re talking 52,000 pages in a single volume at a cost most of us can’t afford, chances are you picked up the article online at a site like questia.com. Carmun lets you add that to the citation.
It’s great that you can recognize APA references. No need to ever compose one yourself. Let carmun do it.
