How to Cite Meeting Minutes in APA Format

The American Psychological Association (APA) offers comprehensive guidelines for citing research in the sciences, including documents such as meeting minutes. To cite meeting minutes, you must locate basic information about them, such as the name of the minute-taker, the company or organization holding the meeting, the date of the meeting, and where you found the document. Once you have collected this information, citing meeting minutes in APA style is a matter of plugging the information into the correct order.
