APA personal style

CainPY

Hi everybody!!

I'm writing my thesis, and the University has based its format in APA, but with some differences, so, I need to change some things, specially in the bibliography section.

Right now i face problems in this aspect, please refer to the example provided.

Bibliography
---as APA use:
Última Hora. (2017, November 21). Fiscalía indaga irregularidades en Aso de la Contraloría. Retrieved May 8, 2018, from http://www.ultimahora.com/fiscalia-indaga-irregularidades-aso-la-contraloria-n1120133.html

As my University wants:
Última Hora. (2017, November 21). Fiscalía indaga irregularidades en Aso de la Contraloría. Retrieved from http://www.ultimahora.com/fiscalia-indaga-irregularidades-aso-la-contraloria-n1120133.html


Please look in the date after "Retrieved" ... I need to erase it (the date) ...

in the

I found those lines and comment it

<!group>
<!date variable="accessed" form="text" suffix=", "/>
<!/group>

but ... without results ...

Could anyone help me, please? Thanks in advance

No need to change the style. That item should be entered as a Report, not a Webpage. (Access date is only shown for Webpage and Blog Post items).

Generally agree this can be handled in the style, but this should be entered as a newspaper article, not a report. Ultima Hora is a Paraguayan newspaper, so this is pretty clear-cut.

@bwiernik
Thanks for the advise ... but will be it correct, in accordance with the rules of ethics?
As noted by @adamsmith's answer, is a newspaper


@adamsmith
Yes it is a newspaper, but I take the information from the digital version ... so I can't put the page number ...

adamsmith

that's fine, you don't need to enter every field, it'll look correctly when entered as a newspaper article.

CainPY

thanks, will change it ... as newspaper (or report instead) ... but first I will ask my professor about the ethical aspects

adamsmith

I'm not sure why you think this has anything to do with ethics.

a) This _is_ a newspaper article, so it's absolutely correct to classify it as such
b) You're not handing in your Zotero database, but your paper with finalized citations. Zotero is just a tool to help you. You can enter data in Zotero in any way you see fit as long as you produce accurate citations with it.

bwiernik

If by “ethical” you mean the rules for citations, absolutely you should cite this as a Newspaper Article. It _is_ an online newspaper article.

thanks very much for you both, guys ...

best regards
