Cite in APA 7 from a DOI

Paste the article's DOI or doi.org link. We give you the reference for your list and the two ways to cite it in the text. Everything comes from the official Crossref record: if the DOI doesn't exist, there's no citation.

The 5 cases that confuse people most in APA 7

  • Two authors: join them with “&” inside parentheses and with “and” in the sentence: (García & López, 2021).
  • Three or more authors: from the first citation, only the first author and “et al.”: (García et al., 2021).
  • No date: write “n.d.”: (CONEVAL, n.d.).
  • Direct quote: always with a page or paragraph: (García, 2021, p. 14). With no pages, “para. 3”.
  • DOI: in the reference it goes as a full link https://doi.org/… with no final period.

Books, theses and web pages have no DOI; you enter those by hand in Trazado and they're formatted the same way. Create a free account to cite inside your essay in one click and verify every source.
