Citing Articles from The Lancet Oncology in APA Style

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a research project related to oncology and came across some valuable articles in The Lancet Oncology. I'm unsure about how to properly cite these sources in APA style. Does anyone have any experience with this and could provide guidance?

Hi OncologyInsights, I can definitely help you with that! When citing an article from The Lancet Oncology in APA style, you typically follow this format: AuthorLastName, AuthorFirstInitial. (Year). Article title. Journal Title, volume number(issue number), page numbers. DOI or URL. For example: Smith, J. (2022). Advances in cancer immunotherapy. The Lancet Oncology, 23(4), 524-536. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1470-2045(22)00087-0

Just a heads up, when including the DOI, make sure to format it as a URL (e.g., https://doi.org/10.1016/S1470-2045(22)00087-0) to ensure proper citation. And if the article doesn't have a DOI, you can include the URL of the article instead. Also, keep in mind that APA style requires the use of hanging indentations for the reference list, meaning the first line of each reference should be flush with the left margin, and subsequent lines should be indented by 0.5 inches.

I hope this helps, OncologyInsights! Proper citation is crucial for academic integrity, and I'm glad to have provided some guidance. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. Remember, we're here to support each other in our oncology research endeavors!
