Go to the citation machine. Choose the formatting type you require. In this case, you will choose "APA Style."
Determine whether you are citing from a print or non-print (electronic) source. Choose the type of document from which you have cited. If print, it could be a book, a journal, a newspaper or other print source. If non-print, you may have an online magazine or Web-based media.
Type in the required information. You will need to know the author's names, the publishing year, the title of the work and page numbers. That is just the basic information. Most citations will require more than just those few items. The citation machine will tell writers all the different items they need to know.
Click on the "generate" or "submit" button, indicating to the citation machine where you have entered all of the required information.
Check the citation to make sure all of the information you have entered made it into the final edition.
