How do I cite a drug card from ATI.com?

How do you think you should cite it?

ETA: Remember, as APA does not include formats for all reference types, you might have to choose one that closely resembles what you trying to cite.

If you start by letting us know how you think it should be cited, the members here will be more likely to assist you.

Like Chare said, tell us how you think it should be cited first.

Although I will admit, there are some APA citations that aren't commonly used, so are rather hard to find. But it's out there.

Sorry, should have added how I thought it should be cited to the post.

Assessment Technologies Institute. (2015). Pharmacology made easy 3.0. Retrieved from (I would put the ATI web address here)

Yes, with the addition included in the following format:

RAND Corporation. (2006). Three steps for improving the quality of mental health care in the United States [Fact sheet]. Retrieved from http://www.rand .org/pubs/research_briefs/2006/RAND_RB9190.pdf

The APA published the APA Style Guide To Electronic References (6th ed.) in 2012. It is available on-line:

And this is where we love to hate APA...I've always cited this sort of thing like this:

Dogs. (year, if no year than n.d.). In Canines (pp. 354). Retrieved from whateverwebsite.

This is assuming that there is no author, and is a combination of a book citation and a website citation.

Two other good APA resources are Purdue OWL and APA Style FAQ.

(My sources: Taught this stuff for a while in another life. Had to flip through the official guide more than a few times.)

Does your school have research librarians or a Writing Center? Those are two good in-person options as well.
