APA 7th Edition: What Changed in Citations and References

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): The 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual came out in late 2019 and is the current standard. The main citation changes are: books no longer show the publisher's city; DOIs are written as links, https://doi.org/…; references list up to 20 authors before using an ellipsis; in-text citations of three or more authors use et al. from the first time, (Smith et al., 2024); "Retrieved from" is dropped unless a retrieval date is needed; and websites show the site name unless it matches the author. The generator follows these rules.
