I need to cite a book in APA style for my research paper. Can someone walk me through the correct format for both print and electronic books? Also, are there any helpful tools or websites you recommend for checking citation accuracy?
 
In APA format, cite a book as: Author’s Last Name, Initials. (Year). Title of the book (in italics). Publisher. Example: Smith, J. (2021). The art of learning. Penguin Books. Use sentence case for titles.
 
In APA (7th edition), cite a book using this format:

Author, A. A. (Year). Title of the book: Subtitle if applicable. Publisher.

Example:
Smith, J. L. (2020). The art of learning. Penguin Books.

Include a DOI if available. Italicize the title and use sentence case.
