Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between APA 6 and APA 7?
APA 7 (2020) lists up to 20 authors, hyperlinks DOIs, drops the running head for student papers, and removes the publisher location for books. Use APA 7 unless told otherwise.
Can I export citations to Mendeley or Zotero?
Yes. The DOI Citation Generator exports RIS (Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote) and BibTeX (LaTeX / JabRef). Generate a citation, then click Export.
Which citation style do Indian universities prefer?
Most Indian management and social-science journals use APA 7. Engineering often uses IEEE, and medical journals require Vancouver. Always check your specific guidelines.
How do I cite a website with no author or date?
In APA 7, use the italicised title, then (n.d.) for no date, followed by the URL.
