APA style results in incorrect in-text references to chapter
I want to cite a chapter in a non-edited book using the APA style. The APA manual states that chapter should not be abbreviated and gives the following example (rule 6.19)
(Shimamura, 1989. Chapter 3)
However, Zotero seems to abbreviate chapter as chap. Here is an example produced by Zotero:
(Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2003, chap. 2)
The citation should be
(Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2003, Chapter 2)
(Shimamura, 1989. Chapter 3)
However, Zotero seems to abbreviate chapter as chap. Here is an example produced by Zotero:
(Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2003, chap. 2)
The citation should be
(Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2003, Chapter 2)
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
In your first example you have a period between year and locator (Chapter), in the second one you have comma. Which is correct?
