With very few exceptions, the Association follows the APA 7th style of citing and listing references. Examples of many of the most common reference types are present in this list. Please note that resources published by the Association prior to our name change in January 2015 should reflect International Reading Association as the author.
Of note in the latest update from APA: Locations of publishers are no longer included.
