What is Apa format for a hyphenated name?

There isn't a specific APA format rule for hyphenated names. The general rule is to use the name as it appears on the source, whether it's a book, article, or website.

Here's how you'd handle it in various scenarios:

1. Author Name in a Citation:

* In-text citation: (Smith-Jones, 2023)

* Reference list: Smith-Jones, A. B. (2023). *Title of work*. *Publisher*.

2. Author Name in the Running Head:

* If the name is long: Use the first initial of the first name and the full last name: (S.-Jones, 2023)

* If the name is short: You can use the full name: (Smith-Jones, 2023)

3. Author Name in a Title:

* If the name is the title: Capitalize the first letter of each word, including the hyphen: *Smith-Jones's Research*

* If the name is part of the title: Capitalize the first letter of each word, including the hyphen: *The Impact of Smith-Jones's Theory on Modern Psychology*

Key Point: The most important thing is to be consistent throughout your work. If you choose to use a specific format for hyphenated names, use it consistently for all occurrences in your paper.
