Citing article in an Internet-only journal (APA v5)
Author:    Posted: Tue, 22 Jan 2008 17:48:24 -0500
The APA v5 guide (section 4.16, item 72, on page 272) specifies the following as the correct citation for an article in an Internet-only journal: Frederickson, B.L. (2000, March 7). Cultivating positive emotions to optimize health and well-being. Prevention & Treatment, 3, Article 0001a. Retrieved November 20, 2000, from http://journals.apa.org/prevention/volume3/pre0030001a.html. I am using the Endnote provided APA 5th style. The only way I can (I think) achieve this is using the "Electronic Article" format instead of "Journal Article" format in EndNote X1. But it isn't perfect, and that's where I need your help to get it right. When I use the "Electronic Article" Reference Type format, I don't get the date retrieved, and I only get the first word of the journal name. Everything else appears to be ok. Would appreciate input and suggestions to fix this. Thanks. Fred

I tried it on X.0.2 putting the date retrieved in the Date Accessed field and got Frederickson, B. L. (2000, March 7). Cultivating positive emotions to optimize health and well-being. Prevention & Treatment, 3, Article 0001a. Retrieved November 20, 2000, from http://journals.apa.org/prevention/volume3/pre0030001a.html Perhaps your APA style is corrupted.

Fred, Unfortunately EndNote's APA 5th style does not conform the format stipulated in the actual APA 5th edition manual so there will often be times when you need to modify the reference type and/or output style. The following instructions are based on EndNote X1 for Windows and is a two-step process. STEP 1: MODIFY THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL REFERENCE TYPE 1. From the EndNote toolbar, go to EDIT, REFERENCES. 2. In the EndNote Preferences menu, select REFERENCE TYPES, then click on MODIFY REFERENCE TYPES. When the Modify Reference Types menu appears, use the pull-down Reference Type menu to locate and select the ELECTRONIC JOURNAL template. 3. Modify the Electronic Journal template by typing in the corresponding fields below, using the "Generic" listing as a guide. When done, click "OK" to close the menu, then "OK" again to exit the EndNote Preference menu. [*The fields marked with an asterick can be erased and left blank.] GENERIC: ELECTRONIC ARTICLE: Author Author Year Year Title Title Secondary Title Journal Place Published *City Publisher *Publisher Volume Volume Number Issue URL URL Access Date Access Date STEP 2: MODIFY THE APA 5TH OUTPUT STYLE 1.In the EndNote toolbar, select EDIT, OUTPUT STYLES, EDIT APA 5th. This will bring up the APA 5th style. 2. In the left column, locate "Bibliography" then click on TEMPLATES. 3. Click on the REFERENCE TYPE pull-down menu and select "Electronic Journal". Then create the string of fields and commands using the "Insert Field" pull-down menu to create the template below. (Note: The asterick represents the LINK ADJACENT TEXT command. Also, the accent symbol (located on the tilde key) tells EndNote to include non-fields as text, such as 'Retrieved', to appear in the citation.) Author. (Year). Title. Journal|,*Volume|(Issue)|. 'Retrieved'*Access Date|,*'from'*URL Once you become accustomed to modifying EndNote's reference types and output styles, you can easily adapt them to fully conform to the APA 5th citations shown in the manual. Hope this helps and good luck.

No one in the discussion a couple of week's ago seemed to be aware that APA 5th has had a significant revision for the referencing of electronic resources. In particular, use of dates of retrieval or even a retrieval statement at all (if there is a DOI) is often no longer required. Also - as far as I can make out - use of [Electronic version] has also been discontinued, in favour of putting a brief note (e.g. "Advance online publication.") before the retrieval statement. Some details of the APA revision are available on the APA Web site http://apastyle.apa.org/elecmedia.html but I would recommend getting hold of the 24 page booklet "APA style guide to electronic references", which totally updates section 4.16 (pp. 268-281) in the APA Publication manual. The change to the APA 5th output style went some way to addressing this revision. John Arnold George Forbes Memorial Library Lincoln University "arnoldj"
