APA7 Tweet username help

suelevine · August 22, 2022

What's the best practice for including a username in a reference to a tweet? APA7 specifies the twitter username in square brackets after the author name. Using a forum post in Zotero, I can insert the username in brackets after the author, but then the username appears in the cite, as well.

Thanks!

Not sure if this is the best way to do it, but you can use "omit author" to suppress the information in the author field in the parenthetical citation, then add the author's name as you want it to appear as a prefix, followed by a comma.
