APA 7th Edition Citation Guidelines

The International Journal of Open Science requires that all manuscripts adhere to the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition citation style, both for in-text citations and reference lists.

1. In-text Citations

• One author: (Pineda, 2022)
• Two authors: (González & Martínez, 2021)
• Three or more authors: (Araya et al., 2020)
• Corporate author: (UNESCO, 2023)

2. Reference List

References should be organized alphabetically and formatted with a hanging indent. Examples include:

• Book: Medina, P. (2020). Introducción a la ciencia abierta. Editorial Académica.
• Book chapter: Soto, L. (2019). Repositorios y ciencia abierta. In M. Ruiz (Ed.), Acceso abierto en América Latina (pp. 75–92). Universidad X.
• Journal article: Carrasco, R., & Morales, J. (2022). Evaluación responsable en tiempos de cambio. Revista de Políticas Científicas, 18(2), 45–63. https://doi.org/10.1234/rpc.2022.18.2.45
• Institutional document: UNESCO. (2021). Recomendación sobre la ciencia abierta. https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379949

3. Additional Considerations

• Use italics for titles of books, journals, and full documents.
• Include the DOI or URL in references when available.
• Capitalize only the first word of the title and any proper nouns.
• Do not number the references.
