I am going to do the following changes in Latex. As you know,APA format requires the & be used in parenthetical citations, when both name and year are inside the parentheses, such as (Shi & Tsai, 2002). When they are use in the discussion, spell out “and” such as “....Shi and Tsai (2002) argued that,...” Likewise, in the references the & should be used between two authors, and between the last 2 authors in a larger group, such as: Staicu, A., Crainiceanu, C., & Carroll, R. (2010).

For making these changes, I have done the following commands:

% % References
\renewcommand{\bibname}{REFERENCES}
\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{1.7cm}{20pt} 
\setlength{\bibhang}{0.5 in}       
\singlespacing
\bibliography{mybib}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{REFERENCES}

But the outputs are not what I expected. Here are the outputs: Burnham & AnderSon (2002) and Shi & Tsai (2002)... the −2× log-likelihood (Burnham & AnderSon, 2002; Shi & Tsai, 2002)... Greven, S., Crainiceanu, C., Caffo, B., & Reich, D. (2010). Longitudinal functional principal component analysis. Electronic Journal of Statistics, 1022-1054.

  • please make a small but complete test file, also you have tagged this biblatex but it looks like you are using bibtex not biblatex – David Carlisle Dec 16 '20 at 14:30

    To use the apacite bibliography style, you need to load the apacite package too, and if you plan to use the natbib citation commands, you need to load it with the natbibapa option. I'm not sure that apacite implements APA 7, however, so you may want to switch to biblatex-apa which does. – Alan Munn Dec 16 '20 at 15:38
  • See also https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/527497/35864. In fact going by the title, your question is a duplicate of that question (it isn't made explicit in the question body that you want 7th ed. APA style). – moewe Dec 17 '20 at 07:26
  • The takeaway from the answer to the linked question is that apacite currently can only give you 6th-ed. APA style. (And as Alan commented above, you should load \usepackage{apacite} to properly use apacite.) If you need 7th-ed. APA style, the only LaTeX-based solution at the moment is a current version of biblatex-apa (which will likely require small changes to your workflow). – moewe Dec 17 '20 at 08:01

I can provide a small code you should be able to compile. It is using biblatex and biber. I will compile several times if your system is configures to do so, or do it manually. See how the different ways of citing works with multiple authors.

% !TeX TS-program = pdflatex

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}


\usepackage[%

natbib=true,

\section*{Introduction}


Two topics that I wish were taught more often are equivalence testing \citep{aksin} and ROC curves \citep{bertram}. Such methods are well supported by software \citep{aksin, companion}. That said, I confess that the cited software products have nothing to do with the topics that are mentioned.


\citet{bertram} presents some methodology on how to perform tests of equivalence,and also the one--sided versions of these, which are known as non-inferiority or non--superiority tests. On the other hand, if you want to know about receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, a good source of information is \citet{companion}.
