How Do I Cite a Search in APA Style?
Q: In my assignment I am
writing about a Google search that I performed and the resulting number of
websites on a specific topic. Do I need to cite this source in my reference
list?
A: No, but thanks for
stopping by! A search is not a source of information; it’s part of your
research methodology. Describe it in the Method section of your paper and
acknowledge the tools that you used (e.g., Google, Web of Science, PsycINFO).
Don’t cite it in text or in the reference list.
