FAQ

The Question

How would I cite an article from Issues & Controversies in APA format?

Our Answer

Great question!

The database, Issues & Controversies, is different from most of our other databases in that it creates its own content and that content (a.k.a., articles) does not appear in print anywhere. Because of this distinction, you cite those articles differently than you would articles you get from Gale or EBSCOhost databases.

How to Cite

In APA format, you treat those articles like a magazine article found on the Web:

Author if any. Article title. (article year, month day). Publication name and permanent URL

Example

European debt crisis. (2012, January 9). Issues & Controversies, https://icof.infobase.com/articles/QXJ0aWNsZVRleHQ6MTYyODk=?q=%22european+debt+crisis%22&aid=97060
