APA Format: Corporate Authorship               


 

When a work is published by a corporation or institution, a typical reference entry should appear as follows:



Institute of Financial Education. (1982).  Managing

       personal funds. Chicago: Midwestern Publishing.


University of Minnesota. (1985).  Social psychology.

       Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press.




Begin with the full name of the corporation or institution. Date of publication follows, in parentheses. The title should be italicized, but only the first word should be capitalized. Place of publication comes next, then the publisher. Use a colon after the place of publication. Each portion of the entry should be separated by a period and two spaces.

For more specific information, consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Fifth Edition).
