How to Document an Internet Dictionary With No Author in APA

APA style is set by the American Psychological Association for use in scholarly papers and journal articles in the fields of social and behavioral sciences. It is important to cite every source you use when constructing a paper, including sources that do not have a specific author, such as an entry in an Internet dictionary. If you fail to cite your sources you may face serious repercussions if you are found guilty of plagiarizing a source.

Instructions

- 1
  Create a "References" section on a separate page that is after the main body of your paper. Title the page "References."
- 2
  Put the title of the dictionary entry first, followed by a period. Include the date of publication in parentheses. If there is no publication date, use "(n/d)."
- 3
  Type "In" after the date and then put the title of the publication in italics. For example, "In Online Oxford English Dictionary."
- 4
  Include the Web address of the source to end the citation with the words "Retrieved from" in front of it. For example, "Retrieved from http://Internetdictionary.com."
