How do you cite an ISSUE BRIEF in APA format?

I'm trying to do citations with NoodleBib for my final paper. I found information on a goverment website, and it was an issue brief in PDF format. How do I cite an issue brief? Do I cite it like a journal article or how do I do it?

Answer

Government agencies and research institutions often release issue briefs. 

The format for an APA reference for an issue brief located online is:

Author. (Year, Month). Title (Issue Brief No. XX). Website name. https://URL

Example:

 


In NoodleTools, select where you found the resource, then select Report (Technical/Research)

On the next page, enter information in the appropriate boxes on the form.  Click on the down arrow next to "Report Description" and select "Issue Brief" from the list.


Click the SAVE button in the upper right of the screen when all bibliographic information has been entered to generate an APA reference for the issue brief.
