How do I cite a journal article in APA format?

Answer

Here are two reputable sources with relevant information and examples for citing journal articles:

The APA Style page Journal Article References provides guidance and examples for various iterations of journal articles.
The Purdue OWL page Reference List: Articles in Periodicals provides guidance and examples including the basic format for journal articles as well as how to handle various iterations like an article in an electronic journal.

You may also need to consult other information in order to correctly cite a journal article. For example, if the article has twelve authors, you may want to consult the Purdue OWL page Reference List: Author/authors.
