My teacher keeps telling me that my referances are not correct.She stated they are not correctly formatted in APA.I checked my settings and they all say APA.I do not know what to do except go to Mendley.Help?
Mendeley uses the same citation style so that likely wouldn't help anyway. Could you be more specific about what's wrong with your citations according to you teacher?
She never says.But she says they are not correct and docs me 10 pts weekly.Here is the latest below.These were imported using Zotero.

They look pretty good for the most part (the Siggelkow one needs some cleaning in the metadata - you can't assume that all Zotero imports are always 100% correct).
Have you tried asking her? Her job is to teach you, after all...
The one thing that's technically not correct because Zotero can't automate it is the issue number. For continuously paginated journals (such as Organization Science, e.g.) you should remove that.
I have asked her and she says "look at your APA ref Manual". She is a real $#@%^. I am in my Masters program I have never been critiqued like this before.I used to use citation machine but they kept saying that wasn't right either.Then I found Zotero and I love the import the citation.But I am not good at referances and I do not know what these things ususally do wrong
I can assure you that the CSL APA style is extremely accurate. The two things she is likely thinking about are these: 1) The Manual says to omit issue numbers unless the journal restarts pagination at each issue. This is impossible to automate and serves to make retrieval more difficult for readers, so the CSL always includes the issue number. If she is going to be a problem, you should manually delete the issue numbers as needed. 2) The CSL style uses the current updated format for the DOI (https://doi.org/) rather than the outdated doi: prefix in the Manual. This is correct current APA style. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/doi_in_apa
Understanding how to find materials to cite - very important
Understanding the need to cite and void plagiarism - super important
Understanding trivial minutiae of APA style - totally irrelevant to life, irrelevant to psychology, and a mark of an incredibly insecure and likely unaccomplished professor
(And pushing a student on referencing detail can be useful instruction, to encourage more careful engagement with the material--a lot depends on context. It's bad teaching to focus on referencing rules to the exclusion of the subject matter, but there are sometimes other issues.)

If Your instructor insists on the old DOI format, she is, frankly, wrong. But this version of the APA style should meet your needs: https://www.zotero.org/styles/apa-old-doi-prefix
