Media Citations

  • If media (e.g. image, table etc.) is from a book, journal article etc., include parenthetical citation in caption that points to a full citation in the reference list:

Fig. 8: Mattingly’s model of authentic assessment: (Mattingly 2021, p. 17)

  • If media is an image, infographic, or site on the web, be sure to acknowledge the source, but do not include in the reference list unless you want to cite a larger work of which it is a part:

End-of-Work Reference Listing

  • Books, Journal Articles, Conference Proceedings etc.

As per APA (book titles and article titles only have the first word capitalized; journal titles and volumes are capitalized and italicized)

  • Websites: See APA guideline for different circumstances:
  • Video: select a principal creator as “author”, for instance, the main person who appears on a video,  the video direct, the organization that initiated the video etc.

Robinson, K. (2006). Ken Robinson: How school kills creativity [Video]. TED Conferences. http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html

*Videos that are embedded do not require a listing in the references because there is a direct link.

  • Podcasts are treated much the same way, except you use the identifier [Audio file].
  • If an archived webinar is recoverable online, it can be cited as an online video as well. For example:

Axe, J., & Bell, T. (2017, March 27). Lunch and learn: Giving feedback on student writing [Webinar]. Royal Roads University. https://livestream.com/royalroads/events/7167907/videos/15278262
