What should you do if your source doesn’t match the model exactly? Suppose, for instance, that your source is a translation of a republished book with an editor.
Identify a basic model to follow. If you decide that your source looks most like a republished book, for example, start with a citation that looks like model 13.
Look for models that show additional elements in your source. For this example, you would need elements of model 9 (for the translation) and model 7 (for the editor).
Add new elements from other models to your basic model in the order that makes the most sense to you.
If you still aren’t sure how to arrange the pieces to create a combination model, check the APA Manual or ask your instructor.
