Method and pinned scope
This implementation pins the APSA Style Manual’s December 2023 revision and produces reference-list entries only. It preserves APSA author ordering, author-date placement, title treatment, and publication details instead of relabeling Chicago author-date.
Supported source types: journal article, book, and webpage. Titles remain as entered. The tool does not invent capitalization, journal abbreviations, authors, dates, or missing metadata.
Limits and review
Manual metadata only. No DOI resolution, URL fetching, journal lookup, or abbreviation guessing occurs. Institution and publication requirements may vary.
Only http and https URLs are accepted. Civil dates are preserved without timezone conversion.
Worked example
Enter Jane Q. Smith, “A Practical Example,” Example Journal, 2026, volume 12, issue 3, pages 40–48, and DOI 10.1000/example. The result applies APSA Style Manual, December 2023 revision rules for the supported source type and mode.
