APAcite package issue

Post by Jameta »

Hi,
I am using Latex and jabref. But one journal asked me the references should be in APA style. I tried much, using APAcite package, not working. How can i convert the references easily to APA?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

APAcite package issue

Unfortunately “not working” is not enough information to help a lot (→ Infominimal working example). However, best APA conformity can be reached using biblatex and either biblatex-apa (currently for APA7) or biblatex-apa6 (for APA6).

But please also note, that some journals say “APA style“ but mean “our adaption of an author-year style”. In such cases it is often better not to use biblatex-apa (or biblatex-apa6) but to adapt a standard biblatex or biblatex-ext style.
My main topics are KOMA-Script and other questions related to my packages. If I reply to any other topic or if you've not yet added a minimal working example, please do not expect any further response. And please don't forget to tag examples as code.
