How to Cite a Power Point in APA With an Organization as the Author

PowerPoint presentations provide a targeted audience with the most succinct facts and data through visual aides. The American Psychological Association (APA) manual gives writers a format that helps to present the important ideas of a research paper or essay provides without the readers being distracted by inconsistent citation methods. Writers who use APA in the areas of social science, medical and business have specific guidelines to citing information gained from an organization's authored PowerPoint slides.

Instructions

- 1
  Write the following format for a source that has a date associated with the PowerPoint slides: The name of the organization, date, title of the presentation (in italics), insert PowerPoint slides in brackets and write the URL of the PowerPoint slide. For example:
  
  American Red Cross (2001). Blood Transfusions. [PowerPoint slides]. Retrieved from www.americanredcross.dkdkj121222.ppt.

  Write the following format if the PowerPoint slide does not have a specific date associated with it. The organization's name, n.d. (no date), title of the presentation (in italics). [PowerPoint slides]. Retrieved from URL. For example,
  
  Boy Scouts of America (n.d.) Camping Safety. [PowerPoint slides]. Retrieved from URL:www.boyscoutsofamerica.adsfsa.1234/ppt.
