What is the correct way to cite a review in APA format?

The correct format for citing a review in APA style is to include both the title of the review and an indication that it is a review of a specific work. This means that the citation must clearly state what is being reviewed.

In option C, the structure correctly provides the author’s name, the year of publication, the title of the review, and crucially, it specifies that the review is of a particular book by including “[Review of the book Title of book by Author].” This clarification adds context to the citation, making it evident to the reader that this piece is not just a standalone article but specifically discussing a book. Additionally, including the publisher and a URL (if applicable) contributes to a complete citation.

This format aligns with APA guidelines, ensuring that readers can easily locate both the review itself and the original work being discussed. It emphasizes the relationship between the review and the book, which is vital for understanding the source's relevance.
