APA revision[edit]
Revision on Creators[edit]
The following rules are to be implemented in a new way:
Old version:
- if there are 3-6 authors: commas separate author names, while the last author name is preceded again by ampersand. E.g.: Kernis, M. H., Cornell, D. P., Sun, C. R., Berry, A., & Harlow, T.
- give the last name and initials for all authors of a particular work unless the work has more than six authors. If the work has more than six authors, list the first six authors and then use et al. E.g.: Harris, M., Karper, E., Stacks, G., Hoffman, D., DeNiro, R., Cruz, P., et al.
New version:
- if there are 3-20 authors: commas separate author names, while the last author name is preceded again by ampersand. E.g.: Kernis, M. H., Cornell, D. P., Sun, C. R., Berry, A., & Harlow, T.
- give the last name and initials for all authors of a particular work unless the work has more than 20 authors. If the work has more than 20 authors, list the first 20 authors and then use et al. E.g.: Harris, M., Karper, E., Stacks, G., Hoffman, D., DeNiro, R., Cruz, P., Author, A., Author, B., [......], Author20, A., et al.

Journal Articles[edit]
old version: Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, volume(issue number), pages.
New version Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, xx, pp-pp. doi:xx.xxxxxxxxxx
please always include the DOI at the end if available.
example: Sauter, D., Eisner, F., Ekman, P., & Scott, S. K. (2010). Cross-cultural recognition of basic emotions through nonverbal emotional vocalizations. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 107(6), 2408-2412. doi:10.1073/pnas.0908239106--Karin 15:06, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Series[edit]
Old version:
Editor, A. (Ed.). Title (Vols. start volume-end volume). Place of Publication: Name of Publisher.
e.g.: Wiener, P. (Ed.). Dictionary of the history of ideas (Vols. 1-4). New York: Scribner's.
New Version:
Editor, A. (Ed.). Title. Place of Publication: Name of Publisher.
e.g.: Wiener, P. (Ed.). Dictionary of the history of ideas. New York: Scribner's.
- Since there is no source in the submission mask for series, no volume information can be included in citation style. --despoina 15:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
- I do not think we have to worry about volumes with series. The above example is not a serie but a multi-volume work and should be entered as book.
APA has this as an example:Koch, S. (Ed.). (1959-1963). Psychology: A study of science (Vols. 1-6). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill. We enter the volume info into the title and if as in this case the publishing years of the volume are different we enter each volume separately in PubMan, if all volumes are published in the same year, we have one PubMan item. --Karin 10:45, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
