How should I reference an author with suffixes (like junior or senior) in their name?
Answer
Junior, Senior, the Third (III), etc. are known as suffixes.
- Place the Jr. or III after the author's first initials in the reference, and place a comma to separate the initials from the suffix (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 286)
- Example: Lastname, A., Jr. (year). Title of resource. Retrieved from URL
- Don't include the Jr. or III in the in-text citation: (Lastname, year, p. X).
