In our digital age, online sources have become integral to academic writing. However, citing them can be a tad more complex than traditional sources. The 7th edition of the APA Manual provides clearer directions for online citations. Here's a distilled guide for you:
1. Webpages: Author(s). (Year, Month Day of Publication). Title of webpage. Website name. URL
* Example: Smith, J. (2020, January 10). Psychology in the digital age. Psychology Today. https://www.psychologytoday.com/sampleurl
2. Online Journal Articles: Author(s). (Year of Publication). Title of article. Journal Name, volume number(issue number), page range. DOI or URL
* Example: Doe, A., & Roe, B. (2020). Online learning in psychology. Modern Psych Studies, 25(3), 45-60. https://doi.org/10.1234/mps.5678
3. E-books: Author(s). (Year of Publication). Title of the book (edition if not the first). Publisher. DOI or URL

4. Blog Posts: Author(s). (Year, Month Day of Publication). Title of post. Website name. URL
