Author last name, first initial(s). (Date of publication).

Article from Library Database or Internet (7th ed. revised this section):

Rozmarin, M. (2005). Power, freedom, and

individuality: Foucault and sexual freedom.

Human Studies, 28(1), 1-14.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. There is no clear formula from APA. Check with your professor/ or publisher if the following formula is acceptable to them. Be sure to locate the CD number. If you are using PubMed, the CD number is located within the DOI. If there is a doi, including the CD number becomes optional. The issue number is necessary because Cochrane does not use continuous pagination.
