APA style for BibLaTeX
Many users assume that either bibtex or biber can be used as the backend with biblatex. However, bibtex is not anymore supported with the apa style. When a user tries backend=bibtex
, the error message is
! Undefined control sequence.
l.231 \DeclareStyleSourcemap
{
which is very opaque. Eventually, I found the relevant piece of information in the biblatex-apa documentation but it cost me a fair bit of time.
It think it would he helpful if biblatex-apa could emit a warning message when the user attempts to use bibtex.
By the way, thank you for biblatex, biblatex-apa, and biber. It's a great pleasure to work with them.
I'm able of producing a bibliography with biblatex and the apa style, but without getting the warning below.
Package biblatex Warning: File 'portuges-apa.lbx' not found!
Ignoring mapping 'portuges' -> 'portuges-apa'
I think that this problem exists because biblatex-apa
is correctly naming its file to portuguese-apa.lbx
but because of an ancient orthographic error, from the 80s, the babel and now polyglossia packages are calling the portuges
files.
Where are the bibstrings typechair
and typechairs
supposed to be used? The German translations are definitely wrong ("Konferenzstuhl" literally translates "chair" as a seating furniture), but I'd need the context in order to decide on an appropriate translation (I suppose it should be something such as "Konferenzleitung" or "Konferenzmoderation", referring to a person who chairs a conference or session).
I am also not sure whether producer
, execproducer
, director
and writer
are really translated properly. Again, this depends on the context where they are supposed to be used.
Since biblatex
3.5 has arrived on CTAN, are there any plans to release version 7.0 soon?
Version 6.9 will throw errors when run on biblatex
3.5, this has already caused some grievance on TeX.SX style=apa causes bibliography to fail.
If there are more than 7 editors, there is no space after the ellipsis. There is no example in "Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association" (Sixth Edition, 2010) though. If there are more than 7 autors, there is indeed a space after the ellipsis. Information on editors should be treated like information on authors. Note the following MWE:

Hello,
thanks for providing the apa style in biblatex! Recently I discovered that this style is always printing the journal issue number after the volume number. According to APA v6 this should only be done if the journal is paginated seperately by issue (see page 199 of the manual as well):
So I created some little workaround:
\renewbibmacro*{journal+issuetitle}{%
\usebibmacro{journal}%
\setunit*{\addcomma\addspace}%
\iffieldundef{series}
{}
{\newunit
\printfield{series}
\setunit{\addcomma\space}}%
\printfield{volume}%
\ifboolexpr{ test{\iffieldequalstr{journaltitle}{The Academy of Management Executive}} or
test{\iffieldequalstr{journaltitle}{Another Journal}}}
{\printfield{number}}%
{}%
\setunit{\addspace}\newblock
\usebibmacro{issuename}%
\newunit}
It is only checking for journals that have issues paginated seperately by issue. Before doing a real pull request I wanted to ask what do you think about this extension? I see following issues right now:
journaltitle
is checked and not journal
Thanks!
The line in the examples tex file
\apaex{\parencite[as cited in][]{6.17}}
outputs something like
\parencite[ascitedin][]{6.17}
in the the PDF, which is confusing as it is supposed to be the documentation. I originally thought that the ascitedin
was a special token that was translated to as cited in
.
When using any localisation file other than english-apa.lbx or american-apa.lbx, the entries with no date make a "nodate" bibstring literal appear in the reference list, instead of n.d. or s.f. (latter if using Spanish).
More details to reproduce the issue. I initialize the package as shown in the instructions:
\usepackage[babel]{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=apa, sortlocale=auto]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{spanish}{spanish-apa}
\addbibresource{Bibliography.bib}
And then, in the document I write the usual \printbibliography
to make the reference list appear. Citations inside the text are processed ok (n.d. or s.f. or whatever) but in the reference list you'll see a nodate string which indicates that the thing isn't being processed at all.
I've managed to handle this issue adding to my preamble the following:
\DeclareLabeldate{%
\field{pubstate}
\field{date}
\literal{s.f.} %n.d., o.d. or whatever acronym your language requires...
}
Regards
According to the style guide:
When referring to books, chapters, articles, or Web pages, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of a title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns. Do not capitalize the first letter of the second word in a hyphenated compound word.
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/05/
http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/06/capitalization-after-colons.html
For a fix, I found a reference to the IEEE biblatex style, which has the same guidance.
When citing articles in special or supplementary issues, for which the biblatex
manual suggests to use the issue
field (implied on p. 20), the issue number appears in the text citation, but not in the references (I expected the reverse outcome).
It works when using the number
field instead, but Zotero BetterBiblatex will not let me export non-numeric issues to the number
field. In any case, given the biblatex
recommendation, the correct field should be issue
.
As per the APA-style blog, articles from supplementary issues should be cited and referenced as any other journal article, although necessarily tagged with the correct issue ("Suppl. 1" below). Hence, in the MWE below, I expect the reference entry to be
Caselli, F. & Coleman II, W. J. (2013). On the Theory of Ethnic Conflict. Journal of the European Economic Association, 11(Suppl. 1).
,
but I get
Caselli, F. & Coleman II, W. J. (2013). On the Theory of Ethnic Conflict. Journal of the European Economic Association, 11.
,
and I expect the citation
(Caselli & Coleman II, 2013)
,
but I get
Caselli & Coleman II, 2013, Suppl. 1

I have added/replaced 5 bibliography strings in ngerman-apa.lbx, following the latest manual from the DGP 4th ed. from 2016.
[...]
on = {{auf}{auf}}, % <== CHANGED (not according to the DGP manual but German grammar)
retrieved = {{verfügbar}{verfügbar}}, % <== CHANGED
inpress = {{im Druck}{im Druck}}, % <== NEW, probably not needed because the identical string can also be found in biblatex's german.lbx
nodate = {{nicht\space datiert}{{}n\adddot\addabthinspace d\adddot}}, % <== NEW
abstract = {{Abstract}{Abstract}}, % <== NEW, used according to the first example on p. 124. On p. 129 Zusammenfassung and Auszug is alternatively suggested, but let's keep it simple.

lang, k. d.
is missing. What is going on?
In ngerman-apa.lbx
the bibstring for nodate
is not defined; keeping in line with biblatex
's german.lbx
one would probably want (I added a missing space)
nodate = {{ohne\space Datum}{{}o\adddot\addabbrvspace D\adddot}},
(this translates to "without/no date") or even ("no year")
nodate = {{ohne\space Jahr}{{}o\adddot\addabbrvspace J\adddot}},
Using this together with ngerman-apa.lbx
though, one will find that in the bibliography the D in "o. D." is converted to lowercase.
This seems to be rooted in \mkbibdateapalongmdy
and friends using \biblcstring
when calling bibstrings, changing it to \bibstring
indeed solves the problem.
One might add though that this alone would cause the "O" to be capitalised in the parentheses as well (which is undesirable as far as I can see) if there was not an empty group before it in the bibstring. One could probably also get rid of this problem by injecting a \midsentence
somewhere.
The comment in biblatex-apa-test-references.bib on example 7.07:49, that is,
American Psychological Association (Producer). (2000). Responding therapeutically to patient expressions of sexual attraction [DVD]. Retrieved from http://www.apa.org/videos/
reads
We render this with "retrieved from" instead of "available from" as this is arbitrary and ugly to parameterise. Forcing this means we can use a localisable string for "retrieved"
However, I'm not convinced by this argument. Consider you buy access to an online video via http://www.apa.org/videos/ - I think in this case "Retrieved from" would actually be fine. However, in the case of the source cited, it's a DVD. You do not retrieve a DVD from http://www.apa.org/videos/, you order it via this link. It's actually available via http://www.apa.org/videos/. Shouldn't there be the option to have "Available from" for such cases?
The english-apa.lbx uses \DefineBibliographyExtras
instead of \DeclareBibliographyExtras
. As the first is an "only preamble" command this leads to errors if the files are loaded after \begin{document}
.
For an example see this question:
As you are very likely aware, biblatex-apa does not accommodate for in-text citation of personal communications (APA manual section 6.20). I have come across two possible solutions, but they do not integrate well into the biblatex-apa style specifically. So my actual workaround has been manually typing in these types of citations.
If a personal communication is added to a list of other in-text citations, there is no way to allow for automated alphabetical sorting, especially if the author's last name is between the letters of two other citations.
I am already using misc type in my bib for citing statutes.
Are there plans to include the personal communication as part of biblatex-apa?
As I have done in the biblatex repo, I would like to submit the slovene-apa.lbx here too.
The following example is unable to access a string defined with \NewBibliographyStrings
for redefinition.
Feature, or bug?

It would be great if the repository has the same directory structure as biblatex. :)
The url+urldate
bibmacro inserts a hardcoded comma between urldate
and the from
bibstring. This conforms to the English APA guidelines (as in: "retrieved [date], from"), but is not correct in some localisations (at least in German, there should not be a comma: "Zugriff [date] unter").
I suggest to add a macro \urldatecomma
(or somesuch) that can be modified in the lbx.

when I insert a citation using \cite{Agashe:2014kda}
I would expect to get Olive et al., 2014

Thank you.
The latest manual from the DGP 4th ed. from 2016 (and also the former 3rd ed.) handles entries of foreign language publications a little different than the APA manual. Not only the year of the original publication is given (as in APA 7.02:21) but also title and/or author when these are not identical with the translated edition. Two examples are given, on p. 119 and p. 155:

Zimbardo, P. G. & Gerrig, R. J. (2014). Psychologie (20. Aufl.). München: Pearson Studium. (Original erschienen 2002 als Gerrig, R. J. & Zimbardo, P. G., Psychology and life)

when it should give

I'm using TeXLive 2018 (updated to the latest packages) with biblatex-apa
, and I'm trying to reference a journal article reprint found in a book chapter. The best output I can get is:
Wertheimer, M. (1935). Laws of organization in perceptual forms. In W. D. Ellis (Ed. & Trans.), A source book of Gestalt psychology (pp. 71–88). London, England: Routledge & Kegan Paul. (Reprinted from Untersuchungen zur lehre von Gestalt, 301–350, by M. Wertheimer)
For some reason the "Reprinted from" part is ignoring the reprint reference's date, journaltitle, and volume. Here's the bib entry for the primary source:
@InBook{Wertheimer1935,
author = {Max Wertheimer},
title = {Laws of Organization in Perceptual Forms},
booktitle = {A source book of {Gestalt} psychology},

publisher = {Routledge \& Kegan Paul},
location = {London, England},
pages = {71--88},

relatedtype = {reprintfrom},
}
and the reprint entry:
@Article{wgestalt,
author = {Max Wertheimer},
title = {Untersuchungen zur Lehre von {Gestalt}},
journaltitle = {Psychologische Forschung},

There is no problem with numeric

7.04.36 is a similar case. The APA Manual reads
... Symposium conducted at the meeting of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Jackson Hole, WY.
However, the biblatex-apa-test-references.bib has a comment
Note this renders with a period before the LOCATION which is more consistent with other entries
I'm not convinced, it think it may actually be the other way round. The pattern seems to be
place/building/event, city, country.
Compare also to 7.05:44 and 7.10:65-70. Only 7.10:69 has a period. That is, however, in the way
Project, organization. Archive, city, country.
Thus, there is still a comma and not a period before city.
So in need of correction may be the code handling 7.04:36, 7.09:58, and 7.10:70.
Hi,
there seems to be a problem with the handling of multiple dates for one entry.
biblatex-apa v. 7.2:
When I use \textcite{Engelbart1984}
in my text, I get: ...
...solutions in Engelbart (1984–March1).
And in the reference list:
Engelbart, D. C. (1984, February 27–March1). Authorship provisions in augment.
Note the missing space after March.
I also have an entry with a single year-month-day date field, there the space after month is correctly set.
The biblatex date is right according to the manual:
@InProceedings{Engelbart1984,
author = {Douglas C. Engelbart},
title = {Authorship Provisions in Augment},
booktitle = {COMPCON'84, Digest of Papers, Twenty-Eighth IEEE Computer Society International Conference},
date = {1984-02-27/1984-03-01},
publisher = {IEEE Computer Society},
location = {San Francisco, California, USA,},
pages = {465--472},
}
I am using the most recent version of the biblatex-apa package (from 2015-01-24) and there is an issue with the bibliography for references of the "@online" style. In the bibliography I get author, year, title, accessed date, and URL, but there is no period following the URL. Is there some other bit of information I should be providing in the reference, or is that period just missing?

Not sure if this is an upstream bug (I had to do the same in one of my own style files), but with biblatex 3.5, you need to add \field{year}
to the \DeclareLabeldate
definition in biblatex-apa
in order to get a proper year (rather than "nodate").
\DeclareLabeldate{%
\field{pubstate}
\field{date}
\field{year}% <-- added this one
\literal{nodate}
}
Line 2: \InheritBibliographyExtras{dansih}
should be \InheritBibliographyExtras{danish}
.
Section 4.1 of the manual seems to imply that sortcites=false
, but this is no longer true. The manual currently states:
Please note that APA style does not have multiple citation lists sorted—they appear in the order cited. Since
\fullcitebib
is a citation command, the citations will not be sorted which might appear odd since this «citation» style looks like a references section excerpt. There is no way around this since thesortcites
biblatex option is a package-level option. If you want to customise such a fake references section «citation», you should probably be using\printbibliography
with a filter.
The code for reviews and peer commentaries needs some fixing.
% Note how this is handled by the biblatex/biber "related entries" functionality
% We have included the year in the reviewed item for consistency, as per 7.06:46
% The comma after the reviewed title is ommited for consistency, as per 7.06:48
Including the year is fine. But ommiting the comma for consistency turns things upside down. The model notation on p. 208 is:
... [Review of the book Title of book, by A. A. Author]. ...
Also all the examples except for 48, that is 45 to 47, have the comma. Thus, for consistency the comma should be kept and added in 48.

I don't agree. "produced by" is not redundant because it has a distinguishing function. For example, "BioShock" in example 47 is produced by 2K Games, whereas the games' authors are Ken Levine, Scott Sinclair and Paul Hellquist. Possibly, this can be added. The entry "apavid2" already uses the field "producer", the entry "bioshock" uses "author".

Testentry1 is based on APA examples 7.02:19 (Electronic version of print book) and 7.02:21 (Electronic version of republished book). 7.02:21 is actually a reprint of a book published as part of a larger book and thus as a chapter, which is why it is using entry type INBOOK.
INBOOK works fine. Testentry1 and testentry2, however, being entry type BOOK, erroneously have a period after the url and doi, respectively. They give
James, W. (2014a). Psychology. Retrieved from https://archive.org/details/00311290R.nlm.nih.gov. (Original work published 1920)
James, W. (2014b). Psychology. doi:10.1000/182. (Original work published 1920)
when they should give
James, W. (2014a). Psychology. Retrieved from https://archive.org/details/00311290R.nlm.nih.gov (Original work published 1920)
James, W. (2014b). Psychology. doi:10.1000/182 (Original work published 1920)
I haven't checked the other entry types. Surely, there shouldn't be a period after url or doi in any of them when followed by "(Original work ...)".

Example 7.01:1
should come out as

with biblatex-apa
v7.5 it comes out as
Herbst-Damm, K. L. & Kulik, J. A. (2005). ...
The comma before the "&" is missing. I had this checked with the printed APA manual, and http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/how-to-create-references-when-words-in-the-title-are-italicized.html also suggests that there should be a comma before the "&" even if there are only two authors.
One cant simply change finalnamedelim
since names in 'given family' order should follow the 'normal' rules for Oxford commas. Cf. 7.02:25
where "M. Eid & R. J. Larsen" without comma is correct.

Hi,
first of all thanks for the awesome work.
I just updated my MikTex installation and now I have got biber 2.2 with biblatex3.1 and I use TexStudio 2.10.4 on Win 7 x64
The biblatex-apa package is still version 6.7
When I try to compile, I get the following error. I also tried it several times and also cleared auto-generated files in my work dir, but still getting the error.
With biber 1.9 it worked fine. Any help appreciated.

Tested with TeXlive 2018 pretest.
I guess this is part of very general stuff that has to be done. There is an example for 7.02:24 in the test-file, and the bib item is:
@INBOOK{7.02:24,
AUTHOR = {Strong, Jr., E. K. and R. S. Uhrbrock},
EDITORA = {L. Outhwaite},

PAGES = {140--146},
DATE = {1923},

}
But supporting the full modern biblatex fields (isn't that expected by biblatex-apa?) this should be:
@INBOOK{7.02:24,
AUTHOR = {Strong, Jr., E. K. and R. S. Uhrbrock},
EDITORA = {L. Outhwaite},

}
and give the same results. I suppose this may mean a lot of new processing has to be added and I'm definitely not going to write a patch today. I'll fake it for now (sending in thesis tomorrow!).
BTW @plk, someone seems to think you are not with us anymore: https://www.ctan.org/author/kime. Did that really happen the last two weeks? A great loss in that case.
I am not sure whether this is a biblatex-apa or a csquotes issue. Anyway, it you use \enquote*
(only the starred version) in an entry title, LaTeX bails out with an error:
! Argument of \csq@qclose@ii has an extra }.
<inserted text>
\par
l.26
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
Runaway argument?
! Paragraph ended before \csq@qclose@ii was complete.
<to be read again>
\par
l.26
I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

You will find that in the first block the subsequent citation to the OECD source still triggers the full author (interestingly without the brackets - though that seems intentional with sabrackets
?), while the second block correctly shows the shortauthor
.
This seems to have to do with the placement of cite:post
, if it is moved to the loopcode, every work triggers its use. With
\DeclareCiteCommand{\cite}
{\usebibmacro{cite:init}%
\usebibmacro{prenote}}
{\usebibmacro{citeindex}%
\usebibmacro{cite}%
\usebibmacro{cite:post}}
{}
{\usebibmacro{postnote}}
the citations look as expected.

biblatex-apa

is activated

Lines 2202 to 2209 in 88754e8
Unless I'm missing something and the backref information is used for other purposes as well, apa.bbx
would not have to say backref=true
and could delegate the decision about whether or not backrefs ought to be shown to the user via the standard option and could drop apabackref
.

I don't know if the APA itself has something to say about how to treat localizations. If not, I would suggest to follow the rules of the German Psychological Association (DGPs), which include slight modifications to the APA for German. See
