APA Format: Reviews in a Periodical 

 


 

When a review in a periodical is cited, a typical bibliographic entry will appear as follows:



Greenberg, K.L. (1993). [Review of Portfolios in the writing

      classroom: An introduction]. College Composition and

      Communication, 44, 266-268.



List the author of the review first and then place in brackets the name of the book being reviewed. Outside the brackets, list the name of the periodical in which the review can be found. Remember to include the volume and page numbers.

 

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