How would I cite the following brief in APA format? http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Gates-How-Many-People-LGBT-Apr-2011.pdf

I'm editing a research article's reference section, and a research brief has me stumped. One author from The Williams Institute.

Answer

Citing is sometimes more art than science. I think this form will match the spirit of the law, even though this document doesn't have a report number to it. You could use this form from  p. 20 of the APA Style Guide to Electronic Resources, 6th edition.

 

28. Authored report, from nongovernmental organization

Kessy, S. S. A., & Urio, F. M. (2006). The contribution of microfinance institutions to poverty reduction in Tanzania.

    (Research Report No 63). Retrieved from Research on Poverty Alleviation website:http://www.repoa.or.tz/documents

    _storage/Publications/Reports/06.3_Kessy_and_Urio.pdf

 

  • Include the name of the publishing organization in the retrieval information whenthe publisher is not identified as the author.

 

 

Your citation would then look like this – 

Gates, G. J. (2011, April). How many people are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender? Retrieved from the Williams Institute website:  http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Gates-How-Many-People-LGBT-Apr-2011.pdf
