Nutrition and Weight Management Project APA Guide

Video citations are covered at the bottom of page 7 of our APA Style Guide. Always credit the uploader, not the creator, when building your citations. Given the bizarre range of usernames on sites such as YouTube, your author entry may look silly and juvenile; however, please be assured that crediting wacky YouTube usernames and/or video titles is the correct practice, as shown below:

free bee. (2019, June 24). Eat cake scene [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTbGzGQCe-o

In-text citation: (free bee, 2019)

Narrative videos created by your instructor can be cited using the simple template below:

Mabe, J. (2024). Title of video [Video]. Carroll Community College Canvas.

        https://www.carrollcc.edu/canvaslogin

In-text citation: (Mabe, 2024)

If you cite multiple videos by your instructor, you will need to differentiate between them in-text, as the author and year will be identical across citations. To do this, organize the videos in alphabetical order and add a lowercase letter to each citation's year, beginning with a. For example:

First alphabetical citation in reference list: (Mabe, 2024a)

Second alphabetical citation: (Mabe, 2024b)

To cite information about yourself from previous assignments or course materials, list yourself as the author and not your instructor. For example:

Student, A. (2024). Human nutrition assignment [Essay]. Carroll Community College Canvas.
