I need to cite a book that is not the first edition. How do I do that for APA 7th edition style?

Answer

Here is a reputable source with relevant information and examples for citing a book edition other than the first. Be sure to follow the examples carefully, paying attention to punctuation and text style.

  • The Purdue OWL page Reference List: Books provides guidance and an example in the section "Edition other than the first." 

Here is an example of a citation for a frequently used nursing book that is not the first edition:

Sommers, M. S. (2023). Davis’s diseases & disorders: A nursing therapeutics manual (7th ed.). F.A. Davis.

For more APA citation help, see the library's Citation Help: APA page or Ask a Librarian.
