APA provides different reference formats for more than 100 source types. Therefore, it’s essential to first determine what kind of source you’re dealing with. In some cases, this isn’t as easy as it sounds. Sources can take the form of a webpage or PDF file, but this is just the medium. When digging deeper, you may find that this webpage is actually a newspaper
article, blog article, or press release. The PDF file could be a government report, journal article, or brochure. Choose the most appropriate source type from the list below. Can’t find a suitable one? Check out the official APA Style website for even more reference examples. OtherAPA Citation Examples | Books, Articles, Webpages, Reports
