According to APA style what is the correct sequence of bibliographical elements in a reference entry of a journal article :

  • A.Author and year of publication; title of the article; title of the journal; volume and issue number; page numbers
  • B.Author and year of publication, title of the article; volume and issue number; title of the journal; page numbers
  • C.Author and year of publication; title of the article; page numbers; volume and issue number; title of the journal
  • D.Author and year of publication, page numbers; title of the article, title of the journal; volume and issue number

Answer: A

The APA order is author and year; title of the article; title of the journal; volume and issue number; page numbers.

An APA journal reference reads: Author, A. A. (Year). Title of the article. Title of the Journal, volume(issue), pages. The year follows the author straight away, the article title comes before the journal title, and the volume and issue sit after the journal title with the page range last.

The other sequences each move one element out of place: the second puts volume and issue before the journal title, the third puts the pages before the volume and journal, and the fourth puts the pages straight after the year. None of these is APA style.
