APA7 Guide

Multiple sources

If you are citing multiple sources in the same reference, you should list them in alphabetical order separated by a semi colon.

Example:

(Adam et al., 2018; Carpenter et al., 2015; Zepke, 2017)

If you want to give emphasis to some authors over other authors, separate the sources so that the emphasised source/s appear first and the remainder follow the words ‘see also’.

Example:

(Giddens, 1991; see also Archer, 2003, 2007)

Multiple works by the same author published in different years

If you are citing multiple works by the same author published in different years at the same point in your text, you should list the author’s last name followed by the relevant years of publication.

Example:

(Archer, 2003, 2007, 2012)

Multiple works by the same author published in the same year

For multiple works by the same author published in the same year, use letters in the in-text citations and in the reference list entries to indicate the different sources.

Example:

(Hammond, 2020a)

(Hammond, 2020b)

(Hammond, 2020c)

Multiple pages from the same source

When citing information from multiple pages within the same source, you should cite consecutive pages (i.e. 2 or more pages in a row) with pp. followed by the page number range.

Example:

Zepke (2017, pp. 55-56)

For information from non-consecutive pages list each page number separated by a comma.

Example:

Zepke (2017, pp. 14, 55, 102)
