APA7 Guide

In text citation

  • DOIs can be identified using crossref.org. Not all books have a DOI.
  • If you list separate citations for each work, follow the appropriate citation style.
  • However, if you include two or more works by the same author within the same parentheses, you should arrange the citations by year of publication. Give the author’s surname once and give only the dates e.g. (Smith, 2002, 2004).

Reference list

Template:

Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (year). Title of the book. Publisher Name. http://doi.org/xxxx OR http://xxxx

NOTE: Arrange two or more works by the same author (or the same group of authors listed in the same order) by year of publication (earliest first). If a work is undated (n.d.), place it before works with dates, and place any works in-press after those with dates.

Eysenck, M. (2006). Fundamentals of cognition. Psychology Press.
