Part 2: More practice with Zotero (Take-home)

Instructions

Below are 8 items that need to be added to a new Zotero collection called [Your Name] APA Take-Home. For each item, you will need to identify which type of source it is and then create an entry with all the information needed for an APA 7 citation.

Use what you have learned thus far to track down the information you need for each source. You are free to use any method (i.e., drag/drop, manual, magic-wand, etc!) when adding it to your collection. But make sure to edit and revise the metadata (right-side panel) as needed. Do not assume that the automatic indexing process worked! Many times you will need to make adjustments to create your properly formatted APA 7 citations!

Before you begin adding items, do not forget to create a new collection in Zotero and name it [Your Name] APA Take-Home

Item 1. This journal article published in Memory & Cognition

If you want to use the DOI with the magic wandy thing, you need to start at the number 10.xxx. You do not include the https://doi.org/ at the beginning.

Also, make sure you have the correct page numbers.

  The APA 7 citation is:

Item 2. This journal article

If the journal article has an article number instead of a page range, include the word “Article” and then the article number instead of the page range.

The APA 7 citation is:

Item 3. This article titled Chimpanzees use self-distraction to cope with impulsivity

The APA 7 citation is:

Item 4. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1126/science.2658056

The APA 7 citation is:

Item 5. Who Moved My Cheese? ISBN: 978-0-399-14446-2 (Paperback – International Edition, March 4, 1999)

Make sure that you have the correct date information.

The APA 7 citation is:

Item 6. This journal article with many authors

The APA 7 citation is:

Item 7. Inside the funhouse mirror factory: How social media distorts perceptions of norms published in 2024

You won’t find first-last page numbers because this journal uses an article number.

This number can be hard to find so we will help you out, it is the last number in the DOI URL, 101918.

In the Zotero pages field, need to enter “Article 101918”

The APA 7 citation is:

Item 8. This magazine article about The science of melting cheese

You only need to include the author for this magazine article. No need to list the editor.

The APA 7 citation is:

Now that you have a second complete collection of sources, go back to your lab worksheet document.

Create an APA 7 style References section using your [Your Name] APA Take-Home collection. Follow the directions and copy/paste your properly formatted References list into your worksheet.

Zotero right-click context menu showing options to ‘Create Bibliography from Collection’ and ‘Generate Report from Collection’

Once you have completed both sections of the worksheet, submit your assignment to the Lab 1: APA References Assignment on Canvas.
