Summarize:

The first part of an APA citation lists the last name of the author, followed by a comma, and then the author's first and middle initials. While dissertations typically only have 1 author, if there's more than 1, you should list them in the order they appear on the title page.  For example: "Weber, C.E." If the dissertation has more than 1 author, separate their names with commas. Use an ampersand before the last name. For example: "Crowe, B. D., Raven, C. W., & Moore, A. D." Your reference list will list all of the references you used in your research paper alphabetically by the last name of the author. After the author's name, the next part of an APA citation is the year the dissertation was published in parentheses. Place a period after the closing parenthesis. For example: "Weber, C.E. (2003)." Once you've completed your citation, check to make sure you've formatted it correctly and that the information provided is accurate. If the citation takes more than one line, use the hanging indent style after the first line.Make sure the entry is single-spaced. Typically you will double space between entries.
Provide the author of the dissertation. Add the year of publication. Proofread the full citation.
