Creating References in APA 7 (Word Add-In)

Creating new APA 7-compliant references is easy with the PERRLA Word Add-in.

How to create a new reference

Click Create a new Reference to start the Reference Wizard. It will walk you through the reference creation process.

1. Click Create a new Reference. 
2. Select the type of reference you need to create. 
3. Complete the fields.
   PERRLA provides several fields, but you should only enter the information you have. Leave the rest blank and PERRLA will build your properly formatted reference. Required fields are marked with a blue border. Once your information is entered, click Next.
4. Review and confirm your reference.
   At the top of the next panel, you'll see a preview of your reference in APA 7 format. You can also add optional content – a private description or tags to help organize your Reference Library.
5. Add the reference to your paper by clicking Next. 

The first time you add a reference to your paper, PERRLA will automatically create your paper's Reference section. All references are listed in the References & Citations panel, and PERRLA keeps them sorted correctly in your Reference section.
