Step 1
Insert in-text citations. After a sentence taken directly from the Encyclopedia of Digital Government, insert the last name of the author and the year the encyclopedia was published. An example of an in-text citation for this encyclopedia would be: (Anttiroiko, 2007). Anttiroiko is the author's last name and 2007 is the year published. Writing this after the sentence shows that it comes directly from the book.

Step 2
Insert only the publication date at the end of any sentence taken directly from the Encyclopedia of Digital Government that already has the author's name in it. An example of this would be:
Ari-Veikko Anttiroiko writes, "Access to public information may be enabled through a formal public register." (2007) -
Step 3
Create a Works Cited page at the end of the paper. To cite a book source like the encyclopedia in APA, use this format: Author/Date/Book Title/Place of Publication/Name of Publisher.
-
Step 4
For multiple authors such as this encyclopedia, alphabetize the authors by their last names, followed by a comma and the first letters of their first names. For example, the author section when citing this encyclopedia would look like this:
Anttiroiko, A.-V., & Malkia, M. -
Step 5
Fill in the rest of the citation format and indent all lines of the cited source except for the first line. The name of the encyclopedia should be either underlined or in italics.
