To cite a journal article in APA 7th edition format, use this structure: Author Last Name, Initials. (Year). Title of article. Journal Name, Volume(Issue), page range. DOI or URL.
For example: Smith, J. A., & Brown, L. (2024). The effects of AI on academic writing. Journal of Educational Research, 117(3), 45–62. https://doi.org/10.xxxx/xxxxx.
Include all author names if there are up to 20 authors; use an ellipsis before the final author name if there are 21 or more. If there is no DOI, include the journal's homepage URL.
