I am attempting to cite a website using biblatex in APA format.
However, it is citing it wrong i.e. an in-text citation looks like the following [1]
instead of (Author, Year)
The same goes for the bibliography there should be no [1]
. It should look like this:
Inc. How to Conduct Competitive Research. May 2010. URL : https://www.inc.com/guides/2010/05/conducting-competitive-research.
html.
Instead of like this:
[1] Inc. How to Conduct Competitive Research. May 2010. URL : https://www.inc.com/guides/2010/05/conducting-competitive-research.
html.
This is how my .tex file is set up:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend = biber, hyperref,backref = true style=apa]
{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}
\addbibresource{mybib.bib}
\usepackage{wallpaper}
\AddToShipoutPictureBG{%
\AtPageUpperLeft{\raisebox{-\height}{\includegraphics[width=1.5in]
{LetterHead.png}}}%
}
\begin{document}
Some text that I am citing \autocite{Inc:2010:Online}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
And this is how my .bib file is set up
@Online{Inc:2010:Online,
author = {Inc},
title = {How to Conduct Competitive Research},
month = {May},
year = {2010},
url = {https://www.inc.com/guides/2010/05/conducting-competitive-
research.html}
}

Some comments:
biblatex
options.babel
to use theapa
biblatex style.hyperref
last in the package loading order; you don't need to addhyperref
as abiblatex
option.Date
field if you are usingbiblatex
(i.e.,5
instead ofMay
)times
package is deprecated. You should use thenewtxtext
andnewtxmath
packages instead.I've removed irrelevant packages and code from you example and included your sample
.bib
item usingfilecontents
to make the document self-contained.
