Does anyone know how to cite a source from an on-line database that does not have an author? So far I have what is below, but im not sure if it is correct. I have italicized the Business Week.
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada selects Skura Corporation to partner in an innovative initiative for the Novartis sales force. (2006, October 11). Business Wire. Retrieved October 12, 2006 from LexisNexis Academic database.

The first person to answer is correct. To get more information on APA format go to:
http://www.lesley.edu/library/guides/citation/apa.html
you should also check to see if your school has a writing center and if they have sample papers in APA format. They might also have a copy of the rules for APA format.

Hi there, you seem to have it right. You could also include "[Online]" to indicate that the resource has been retrieved from an online database:
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada selects Skura Corporation to partner in an innovative initiative for the Novartis sales force [Online]. (2006, October 11). Business Wire. Retrieved October 12, 2006, from LexisNexis Academic database
Essentially with referencing the aim is to direct the reader to the source cited as close as possible.
I use a rather affordable referencing product called Referencer, by Inflight. You can get more info on it at http://www.inflightTM.com/ref
With the software I basically select the media and then type the details in and click reference and it completes the formatting of my reference list. It surely makes it all faster.
Hope I've helped
Good luck

No APA is only for journals. Book publishers want traditional style. Much like Chicago Style. Annotations are fine. Two spaces after periods. Double spaced lines Left jagged Underscored for Italics Double underscored for BOLD Book publishers are TRADITIONAL PEOPLE They are not ACADEMIC JOURNALS They want a traditional manuscript using STANDARD editorial format. It's in the Dictonary, look it up. Double underscored wavey line STANDARIZED type setting marks! The type setter is a high school graduate who has worked at the publisher for 10+ years.
