Nice I am paying mine in a combination of ways. My fear is going into the third semester with how slow the dissertation process is (fair warning to everyone there is only so much you can do during it and a lot of waiting). I am not in the danger zone yet but I will be cutting it close. It would be damaging for me. I can only remain patient and try my best though.
I'm getting hung up on a technicality. I need some input, how do you cite a local ordinance in APA7? I'm not seeing a clear example anywhere
Reference list:
- (City of [City Name] Ordinance No. [Ordinance Number], [Year])
Example:
- City of [City Name]. (Year). Ordinance No. [Ordinance Number]: [Title of Ordinance]. [City, State].
If you're citing a noise ordinance from the city of Anytown, enacted in 2023 with the number 12345, it would look like this:
- In-text: (City of Anytown Ordinance No. 12345, 2023)
- Reference list: City of Anytown. (2023). Ordinance No. 12345: Noise Control Ordinance. Anytown, CA.
I gotcha
Thanks - mine's a bit tricky because it's neither a municipal ordinance nor does it have an ordinance number, additionally the original ordinance was passed in 1979 and has been revised every year since, including in 2024. I reached out to Dr. Case and she said this one you referenced would be fine.
Thank you for the assist!
