This guide is representative of the 7th edition Publication Manual of APA and focuses on a student paper structure.
APA examples are not exhaustive and focus on referencing and citations. Assistance from your professor and/or Writing Centre is suggested for clarification.
Users are responsible for interpretation of APA style guidelines and to seek further assistance when necessary.
Effective September 2020.
Legal cases from QuickLawPlus and WestlawNextCanada may or may not be cited using APA format.
Check with your professor to determine how case law, legislation, and other legal information should be cited in your assignment.
In Canada, most case law and legislation is cited using the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (a.k.a. the "McGill Guide").
University of British Columbia (UBC) Law - Legal Citation Guide provides examples of legal citations using the McGill guide (Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation)
Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (10th ed.) by Reference list entry:
Statista. ([2024]). Industries & markets: Beer market in Canada. https://www.statista.com
In-text citation:
(Statista, [2024])
Note: As recommended by APA Style, use the publisher/distributor Statista in the author field. If a particular author or copyright holder is identified, use that for the author field. The report did not have a date listed, but before downloading, the entry had a "release" date of 2024. The date is in square brackets to identify we are adding the information. This database has limited access and users would not be able to access the information without a license to the database. The publisher is not repeated as it is the same as the author.
Vividata collects consumer information through surveys. Users use the data visualization software, Dapresy, to generate tables.
Example:
Image Source: Vividata. (2020). [Demographics by generation/age and personally watch Disney channel] [Data set]. https://vividata.ca/
Reference List Entry:
Vividata. (2020). [Demographics by generation/age and personally watch Disney channel] [Data set]. https://vividata.ca/
Note: The title is in square brackets as you need to create a title for the data you've generated. To describe the item, "Data set" is added and is also in square brackets. The generated data will probably be presented in your paper or presentation as a table or as a graphic. Follow the Tables and Figures recommendations for in-text citations.
