APA 7th Edition - University of Lincoln

Journal article with one author

Notes

Include a DOI if the article has one. If the DOI isn't on the article, try using https://crossref.org to find this. If there is no DOI, provide a URL for articles which are not from a university database. Do not include database URLs for articles obtained from most academic research databases because works in these resources are widely available and aren't restricted to one database.

Reproduce journal articles as shown on the cited work. Do not abbreviate titles yourself.
