APA Update

I received the following from a former student who is now a writing teacher and consultant (Cecelia Munzenmaier):

If any of your students have EBSCO create reference citations for them, they may find the database name replaced by a DOI identifier, as in this example Whitmeyer, J. M. (2000). Power through appointment. Social Science Research, 29(4), 535-555. doi:10.1006/ssre.2000.0680

This is correct, according to the update to electronic reference style at http://www.apastyle.org/elecmedia.html

Another change is that the retrieval date is no longer required for sources that are unlikely to change.

These changes are summarized at http://www.apastyle.org/elecmedia.html
