How to use and cite this collection
Browse by publication type, search a title or topic, or filter by year. Open a publication’s citation panel for its reference, in-text form and available DOI or ISBN. Links lead to publisher or repository records; access to full text depends on the source.
APA 7: references are shown for individual works. If your reference list includes more than one work by the same author or author group from the same year, add a, b, c to the years in both references and in-text citations. Assign these across your own full reference list, usually in title order, ignoring initial “A”, “An” and “The”. For identical titles, use publication-date order.
Versions and dates: journal references use the assigned issue year. The USP Model citation points specifically to Version 2. Where alternative publication records are available, they appear separately in the citation panel.
Copy and export: “Copy APA” copies plain text; retain the italics shown here when formatting your manuscript. BibTeX files preserve available fields. “Export references” downloads the currently visible selection.
