Changes in version 6

Changes to citations in APA format include:

if there are eight authors or more, the reference list entry now is structured as follows: names of first six authors, three ellipses, last author's name, e.g.: Gilbert, D. G., McClernon, J. F., Rabinovich, N. E., Sugai, C., Plath, L. C., Asgaard, G., ... Botros, N. (2004).
publishing location now always consists of city and state abbreviation for locations in the United States (e.g.: New York, NY). Outside of the US, it now always consists of the city and country (e.g.: Vancouver, Canada)
it is now recommended that the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is also included in citations for print items and for non-periodical items if available

Hi Rupert,
I was researching a topic of Citation Styles for my article and discovered your site.
Particularly, this page was extremely useful for the research - http://rupert.id.au/apa/index.php My compliments on putting together so many useful links!

However, while scrutinizing the material, I did notice a few dead links, and decided to inform you...

My colleagues and I actually just published interactive Citation Styles Guide:

https://custom-writing.org/blog/citation_styles/apa

This guide provides students with free downloadable examples of any citations they need and saves a lot of time while writing research papers. I think it may be of use to you if you decide to update your page.

Thank you, and have a great day,

I'm writing to you on behalf of my homeschooling group. I've been referencing your page, http://rupert.id.au/apa/index.php, for my students' research projects that they'll be working on for the rest of the month. So I just wanted to say thanks for all the help from all of us!

My daughter, found a great article on using citations: http://www.marcaria.com/internet-resources-on-citing-the-trademark-of-a-good-writer.asp . Can you include this on your page? She wants to go to college for English, so I thought this would give her more encouragement, plus help others with their writing projects. :-)

If you have any other information or resources you think the group could use, please pass them on. Thanks again!

Best,
Cathryn
