In case the author is listed as anonymous, use \u2018Anonymous\u2019 in the author name position.<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Is Wikipedia a reliable source in academic research?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>Most professors prohibit students from using Wikipedia as a source in their research papers. Wikipedia permits users to edit information anytime, which may lead to untrue information being published. Luckily, Wikipedia often has reference lists whose links can lead you to authoritative sources.<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>How do I know that a source is credible?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>Credible sources contain up-to-date information. For example, sources older than 10 years might contain outdated information. You should avoid .com and .net websites. You should also avoid research articles that do not contain citations. Reliable sources include academic databases such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JSTOR<\/a>, websites affiliated with governments or academic institutions, and <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Scholar<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Additionally, as much as possible, use <a href=\"https:\/\/bibliographymakers.com\/blog\/formatting-in-text-citations\/#indirect-sources\">primary sources<\/a>. Only use secondary and tertiary sources when you cannot find a primary source.<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>When citing my sources, should I use the date a webpage article was last updated or the date that the article was reviewed?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>You should use the date an article was last updated and <a href=\"https:\/\/bibliographymakers.com\/blog\/apa-7-reference-types\/#website-and-webpage-references\">NOT when it was reviewed<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong>APA 7 Sample Papers<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Student&#8217;s Paper<\/li>\r\n<li>Student&#8217;s Paper (With Guiding Comments)<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-eb7ef14b-4ddc-40a3-be91-e91965d3098a\" href=\"https:\/\/bibliographymakers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/APA-7-Sample-Student-Paper-1.docx\">APA-7-Sample-Student-Paper-1<\/a><a class=\"wp-block-file__button\" href=\"https:\/\/bibliographymakers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/APA-7-Sample-Student-Paper-1.docx\" download=\"\" aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-eb7ef14b-4ddc-40a3-be91-e91965d3098a\">Download<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-bc49e52f-5b04-4f44-a8e6-a189fd09836a\" href=\"https:\/\/bibliographymakers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/APA-7-Sample-Student-Paper-With-Guiding-Comments-1.docx\">APA-7-Sample-Student-Paper-With-Guiding-Comments-1<\/a><a class=\"wp-block-file__button\" href=\"https:\/\/bibliographymakers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/APA-7-Sample-Student-Paper-With-Guiding-Comments-1.docx\" download=\"\" aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-bc49e52f-5b04-4f44-a8e6-a189fd09836a\">Download<\/a><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>APA 7 FAQS How do I write a book reference in APA 7?
