How Do I Cite the ERIC Journal in APA?

Knowledge is a collective human endeavor. When you're doing your research in the library stacks, you may feel alone, but all around you are the hundreds of thousands of scholars and researchers who have made their own contributions to knowledge. ERIC, or Education Resources Information Center, is an online library of bibliographic and full-text documents focusing on topics in education and education research. If you are a scholar in education, you may use ERIC's database of education-relevant records. The American Psychological Association can guide you when you're citing an ERIC database journal in APA style.
