The APA style contains guidelines offered by the American Psychological Association for works in the field of psychology, social sciences, health and medicine, nursing, and others. These are presented using examples of different sources, their format in references and in in-text citations.

Book with a single author:

Jackson, M. (2002). Systems approaches to management. New York, NY: Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Book with two authors:

Kotler, P., & Armstrong, G. (2010). Principles of marketing (13th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Education.

Translated book:

Bresson, A. (2016). The making of the Ancient Greek economy (S. Rendall, Trans.). Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press.

If the year of translation and the year of book’s first publication are different, the format is as follows:

Author, A. (Publication year of the translated version). Book title (A. Surname, Trans.). City, State Abbreviation: Publisher (Original work published 1954).

Book having several editions:

Grossman, S. (2013). Mentoring in nursing: A dynamic and collaborative process (2nd ed.). New York, NY: Springer Publishing Company.

The first edition of the book should not have this part (1st ed.), since this is not correct and used only for all other subsequent publications.
