Journal Article without DOI

Use the URL for the journal homepage if no DOI number exists. Do not use a period after the retrieval statement since it could be confused as being part of the URL itself.

When there six or fewer authors, list all of them in the order they appear on the article. Use an ampersand (&) before the last author instead of spelling out the word “and.”

APA Style dictates for periodical references (journals, magazines, etc.) that the issue number is included when the periodical is paginated by issue (each issue starts with page 1). In those cases where pagination is throughout all issues of a volume, include only the volume number and exclude the issue number. Some persons choose to include the issue number in all cases to provide clarity — when working on a paper, assignment, or item for publication consult with your professors and editors about following this rule. More information in the APA Style Blog and page 198 of the 6th edition of the APA Publication Manual.
