To cite references in APA format for a memo writing, you would follow a specific set of guidelines. Here is a step-by-step explanation of how to do it:
1. Start with the author's last name and initials. If there is no author, use the title of the memo or the organization responsible for it instead.
2. Include the publication date in parentheses, following the author's name. Use the year of publication, and if available, include the month and day.
3. Write the title of the memo in sentence case. Capitalize the first word and any proper nouns. It should be followed by a period.
4. Indicate the format of the memo. For a memo, you can use the term "Unpublished memorandum" and place it in square brackets. Follow this with a period.
5. Include the name of the organization or department responsible for the memo, if applicable.
6. Write the location where the memo was published or retrieved from, typically followed by a colon.
7. Add a URL or digital object identifier (DOI) if available. If you accessed the memo online, include the full URL starting with "http://" or "https://".
8. Lastly, make sure to place a period at the end of the citation.
Here is an example of how a memo citation in APA format might look:
Doe, J. (2022, January 15). Sample memo on new company policies. [Unpublished memorandum]. Department of Human Resources, XYZ Company. Retrieved from https://www.example.com/samplememo
