APA issued corrections for mistakes in the first printing. You may wish to print the corrections and keep them with your Publication Manual.
Citations for Articles (from journals, magazines, and newspapers)
Citations for Books
Citations for Other Resources (like films, TV programs, radio broadcasts, research interviews, etc.)
Citations for Online Resources (including resources from library databases, websites, email, etc.)
For explanations and examples of in-text citations, as well as citations for other types of sources, refer to the most recent editions of authoritative texts:
