- Create a reference to an OER only when the materials are available for download directly (i.e., the materials are on the page and/or can be downloaded as PDFs or other files). If you are directed to another website, create a reference to the specific webpage on that website where the materials can be retrieved. Use this format for material in any OER repository, such as OER Commons, OASIS, or MERLOT.
- Provide as specific a date as is available on the webpage. This might be a year only; a year and month; or a year, month, and day.
- Italicize the title of a webpage.
- When contents of a page are meant to be updated over time but are not archived, include a retrieval date in the reference.
Open educational resource references follow the same format as webpages, which are covered in Section 10.16 of the APA Publication Manual, Seventh Edition
This guidance is new to the 7th edition.
