Citing
- SFU Library Citation Guide: APA
- APAStyle Blog - for clarification on citation issues such as missing information or websites vs web pages
- Also check for an option to create a pre-formatted citation in a library database such as Business Source Complete or EconLit, but be sure to check such auto-generated citations carefully -- they often contain mistakes.
