apa format?

Question

I am trying to cite something from an encyclopedia. The title of the article is Joule, James Prescott. There is no author for the article. The encyclopedia title is World Book 2002. The Volume is 11. The editor of the encyclopedia is Dale W. Jacobs. The place published is Chicago. The publisher is World Book, Inc. The date published is 2002. The page where it was found is page 169. When showing me how to cite it, please also include how you knew how to cite it. Thank you!!!

Answer 1

Much like a regular book citation, put the editor's name in place of the authors and throw the edition and total number of volumes after the title of the encyclopedia. You don't have to cite a specific article in the encyclopedia, nor it's page number on the reference page.

Should read:

Jacobs, D. W. (Ed.) (2002). World book encyclopedia (xth ed., Vols. 1-xx). Chicago: World Book Inc.

Don't forget to italicize the title and fill in the numbers I didn't know.

I got this directly from the APA manual and I teach this. Hopefully, you have a textbook that shows you the basics on citing. If you do not and you intend to do more APA citations in your life, I would suggest picking up the APA Publication Manual at your local bookstore. Get the black copy (fifth edition).
