The Manual itself walks authors through an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process: from manuscript preparation to submission. REQUEST THIS ITEM AT THE CHECK-OUT DESK.

WHEN CITING: Articles from a database that were originally published in print should be cited as a print journal (i.e. don't include a URL, DOI, or database name).

See p. 52 of the APSA Style Manual for an example.
Tip: Look for page numbers. Articles published in print almost always have them and will appear in your citation.
