Today I address some of the issues pertaining to citing particular posts, which require both reference list entries and in-text citations.
As you may have noticed, the Publication Manual does not give specific guidance on how to do this. This is an evolving area, and blog discussions will be considered as we create guidelines related to these new references sources for future APA Style products. What to do in the meantime? First, here are screenshots of my examples from Twitter and Facebook (click to enlarge): The suggested reference list entries below generally follow the format for citation of online sources (see pp. 214–215): Best Places to Get Free Books – The Ultimate Guide.
