What is exact format for citing journal article, APA 6th edition format, with a doi, and 6 authors?
Answer
You will need to list all six authors (sorry, no way out of this!). An example -
White, T., Ivory, A., Off-White, A,. Beige, Y., Sandstone, N., & Sand, L.
Next follow the basics of a journal citation - date, title, journal title, volume, issue, & pages. An example -
(2014). Australian Shepherd earns PhD from Oxford: Local Border Collies outraged! Journal of Dogs in Higher Education, 50, (3), 2013-2063.
Next you add the doi - doi:10.1050/15xxx7030802462911
Now it is strung together -
White, T., Ivory, A., Off-White, A,. Beige, Y., Sandstone, N., & Sand, L. (2014). Australian Shepherd earns PhD from
Oxford: Local Border Collies outraged! Journal of Dogs in Higher Education, 50, (3), 2013-2063.
doi:10.1050/15xxx7030802462911
You do catch a break when creating your in-text citations. This from the library's APA guide -
| Six Authors: | First In-Text Citation | Walsh et al. (2000) |
| Subsequent In-Text Citations | Walsh et al. (2000) | |
| First Parenthetical Citation | (Walsh et al., 2000) | |
| Subsequent Parenthetical Citations | (Walsh et al., 2000) |
