How do I cite a PowerPoint presentation or webinar in APA?

Citing a PowerPoint Presentation

To cite a PowerPoint presentation in your text, use the typical in-text citation format of author's surname and year of publication.

For a reference entry of the files/slides, use the following:

• the author’s last name and first initial or the authoring organization
• the year of publication
• the title of the slides in italics
• a bracketed description of the type of media
• retrieval information (e.g., if the slides come from a classroom website, provide the name of that site and its URL)

Example:

Walden University Writing Center. (2019). Writing the literature review [PowerPoint slides]. https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/webinars/graduate

Walden University. (2020). Introduction to psychoanalysis [PowerPoint slides]. Walden University Blackboard. https://class.waldenu.edu

Citing a Webinar Recording

To create a reference entry for a recorded webinar or webcast, use the following:

• the author’s last name and first initial or the authoring organization
• the word Producer in parentheses to show that the author and producer are the same
• the year of publication
• the name of the program in italics
• a bracketed description of the type of media
• retrieval information

Example:

Walden University Writing Center. (Producer). (2013). Writing the literature review [Video]. https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/webinars/graduate
