I am working on a file with many references. The desired output looks like this:

Jackson, A. (2007). New approaches to drug therapy. Psychology Today and Tomorrow, 27(1), 54-59.

While the current output looks like this:

Jackson, A. (2007). New approaches to drug therapy. In: Psychology Today and Tomorrow, 27.1, pp. 54-59.

Any idea how to specify the desired output to LaTeX?

    Welcome to TeX.SE. Please state whether you use BibTeX or biblatex/biber. – Mico Jan 08 '19 at 12:54
  • I am using biblatex/biber. – user3318424 Jan 08 '19 at 12:58

    Purely from the subject matter and the example output I guess you want to try biblatex-apa's style=apa. But I'm guessing here. – moewe Jan 08 '19 at 13:04

The desired output looks very much like APA style for an @article. The subject matter makes that not less likely.

For biblatex (which you use according to your comments) APA style is implemented by biblatex-apa's style=apa.

\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[style=apa, backend=biber]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{jackson,
  author  = {Jackson, A.},
  title   = {New Approaches to Drug Therapy},
  journal = {Psychology Today and Tomorrow},
  volume  = {27},
  number  = {1},
  pages   = {54-59},
  date    = {2007},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
\cite{sigfridsson,jackson}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

In case you don't need APA style, but only something that looks remotely like APA style, you may want to check out one of the standard styles (style=authoryear for example) and modify it according to your needs. See Guidelines for customizing biblatex styles for a first idea how that could work. Note that biblatex-apa is not necessarily a good base to build a style as it has to work really hard to implement all the requirements of the APA and therefore becomes less flexible and customisable.
