Prompt for LLM on Generating APA Citations (7th Edition)

Instructions: I need to create APA format citations for my research paper based on the 7th edition of the APA guidelines. Below are examples of correct APA citations for different types of sources, followed by a list of sources that need to be cited. Please generate the citations accurately, paying special attention to formatting rules such as capitalization, italicization, and punctuation.

Important Formatting Rules:

1. Titles: For journal articles and web pages, use sentence case (capitalize only the first word of the title and subtitle, if any, and any proper nouns). For books and journals, use title case (capitalize all major words) and italicize the title.
2. Authors: List up to 20 authors in the citation. For more than 21 authors, list the first 19 followed by an ellipsis and the final author’s name.
3. DOIs and URLs: Always include the full DOI or URL as clickable links without a period at the end.

Citation Examples:

1. Journal article: Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of the article. Title of Periodical, volume number(issue number), pages. https://doi.org/xx.xxx/yyyy

2. Book: Author, A. A. (Year). Title of the book. Publisher.

3. Website: Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title of the webpage. Website Name. URL

Additional Instructions:

• Ensure that article titles are in sentence case, while journal names and book titles are in title case and italicized.
• For multiple authors, follow APA guidelines and use “&” between authors, with commas separating names.
• Make sure DOIs and URLs are accurate and correctly formatted as clickable links.

Once you have generated the citations, please double-check for consistency in formatting (capitalization, italics, and punctuation) and ensure that all sources follow the APA 7th edition rules.

Thank you!
