Business

A guide to business resources in UVic Libraries

APA is the preferred style guide for the Gustavson School of Business.

Key resources for APA citation

 

Are you managing a large amount of articles, websites, and other resources for your assignment? Why not use a citation management software to keep organized and automatically generate your references, you can even create shared libraries for team projects.

Examples

The APA citation rules are not a perfect fit for many of the resources used in business research. Identifying the precise type of resource as well as the key elements needed for a citation often requires interpretation of both the rules and the resource. Here are a few sample references from some of the top used sources in business. Be sure check the UVic quick guide for standard sample references (journal articles, websites, books etc.)
