Any APA experts?

[Tacori E-ring]

I can''t find an example on how to reference a printed brochure...anyone know?

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I believe they should be treated as a standard periodical.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Actually I''m totally wrong. Here you go....

Ack! I love you HH! Also what the heck is an "informational Analyses"? That is what it is listed under publication type.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I have no idea, but it doesn''t sound like a fun document to read!

Good luck!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

hmmmm...not sure that is right. The page is from 2007 and they just had changes. Wish I could find it in the book.

They just changed the APA style, although if you buy a book be careful because they''ve had to reprint the new edition due to an enormous amount of errors. Perdue Owl is a good resource.

Google "APA [edition number] citing a brochure"

http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/DocAPA.html For 2010, so you don''t have to track it down, here is what it should look like:

Swift, A. C. (1985). Determining our children''s future (Report no. 12). Milwaukee: Child Care of Wisconsin.

I believe it is the same way you reference a book, except you add [Brochure] in brackets at the end. Let me google and find some references for you.

ETA:
------------



APA PAMPHLET

Author. (Date of publication). Brochure title. [Brochure]. Place of publicationublisher*.

Thanks, I do have the second printing of the 6th edition.

The information analyses, read like a paper but with two authors (one phd) and lists the university. There is no journal. I would cite it like thesis but there are two authors. Why is this so confusing?!? I hate APA.

Just list both authors then.

This is what I have:

Author one & Author two. (date) Title of paper.

seems like it is missing something.

No information on the publisher? Or maybe the institution/corporation/agency?

There is a university...that''s it.

Other than the year, there really isn''t much else to say. In AAA format, which is what I use, you actually put unpublished thesis in parentheses at the end, but otherwise it is the name, author, date and university.

That should be more than enough then

University name. (date). Title. [Brochure] Authors names.

Thanks everyone for your help! I love that everytime I have a question and post it on PS I get answers back with in seconds! That source is actually the Informational Analyses. Do you think that is like a manuscript? I don''t see a publisher or anything. I retrieved it from an online database. This should NOT be this difficult. Haha.

Author one & Author 2 (year). Title of the paper. Unpublished manuscript, Seton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey.

The paper was written in 1997 so I am assuming they didn''t submit it to publication.
