APA 7 Referencing

Because this is a legislative Code, it is treated the same as an Act

• there is no author
• even when hosted on the Health and Disability Commissioner's website, the HDC is not the author.
• the date is part of the title
• italics are not used anywhere in the reference

Example:

(Health and Disability Commissioner (Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights) Regulations 1996).

Health and Disability Commissioner (Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights) Regulations 1996.                              https://www.hdc.org.nz/your-rights/about-the-code/code-of-health-and-disability-services-consumers-rights/

• When accessing the Potter and Perry's online books, there are two editions.  The ANZ edition is an edited book, while the American edition is not.  you will need to reference them accordingly.  

ANZ 6th Edition (physical copies available in the library and on Clinical Key)

• This needs to be referenced as a chapter from an edited book.
• If you use more than one chapter, you will need to include a reference for each chapter used.
• The edition information will be: (ANZ 6th ed.).

American 11th Edition (available in Clinical Key only)

• As this is not an edited book, you will need to use the book pattern
• Only reference this edition once, even if you use multiple chapters.
• The edition information will be: (USA 11th ed.).

NOTE: StatPearls is a book within the National Library of Medicine, National Center for Biotechnology Information website. Therefore the name of the library is used rather than StatPearls.

Citation example:

(Anekar et al., 2023).

Then in your reference list:

Anekar, A. A., Hendrix, J. M., & Cascella, M. (2023). WHO analgesic ladder. National Library of Medicine, National Center for                           Biotechnology Information.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554435/

• Because this book is an Australian and New Zealand edition adapted from the American edition, the reference is more complicated. 
• Most chapters include the author(s) and adapting editor(s).   
• For clarity, treat the adapting editors as co-authors as they may have contributed significant sections to the chapters.  Use the pattern for a chapter from an edited book.

Example:

(Jarvis et al., 2020).

Jarvis, C., Eckhardt, A., & Forbes, H. (2020). General survey and vital signs. In C. Jarvis, H. Forbes, & E. Watt (Eds.), Jarvis's                 health assessment & physical examination (ANZ 3rd ed., pp. 134-167). Elsevier Australia.

Although in book form, and shelved with the books, MIMS New Ethicals should be treated as a serial because it comes out several times each year.

Example:

("Somatropin", 2020).

Somatropin. (2020, January–June). MIMS New Ethicals, (32), 255.

(APA Style Expert)

Lippincott Procedures is a medical database that is regularly updated. Therefore it is necessary to include the month and day in the reference.

Note: Because this is an academic database, there is no need to include the url.

Example:

("Venipuncture, pediatric", 2020).

Venipuncture, pediatric. (2020, May 15). Lippincott Procedures (New Zealand Instance). 

Example:

(Schaub & Orna, 2018).

Schaub, T., & Orna, A. (2018, February 9). Abdominal aortic aneurysm. Nursing Reference Centre Plus.                     00000000http://ezproxy.ucol.ac.nz/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?00000000 direct=true&db=nup&AN=T704248&site=nup-live&scope=site 

For a book, use the normal e-book pattern:

This resource is tricky because the author is unclear.  

The front page shows the logos for the Health Quality & Safety Commission New Zealand, ACC, and the Ministry of Health.  It states that the document is endorsed by these three organisations.  This does not make them the author.  

On further investigation, on the bottom of the next page, there is the statement "This document is maintained by Clinical Services Accident Compensation Coproration."  The document is also hosted on the ACC website.  Therefore the author should be ACC.

Example:

(Accident Compensation Corporation, 2017).

Accident Compensation Corporation. (2017). Guiding principles for pressure injury prevention and management in New                          Zealand. ACC. https://www.acc.co.nz/assets/provider/pressure-injury-prevention-acc7758.pdf

DynaMed Plus is a medical database that is regularly updated. Therefore it is necessary to include the month and day in the reference.

Example:

("Ofloxacin", 2023).

Ofloxacin. ( 2023, April 19). DynaMed Plus. https://www.dynamed.com/drug-monograph/ofloxacin

New Zealand Formulary is a medical database that is regularly updated. Therefore it is necessary to include the month and day in the reference.

Example:

(New Zealand Formulary, 2023, para. 3).

New Zealand Formulary. (2023, May 1). Corticosteriods [Database].
