Bilingual corporate authors in APA Style

It is increasingly common for government departments and organisations to have both English and te reo Māori names.

APA Style is ‘cite what you see’, so the general principle is that citations & references should

  • include both names separated by an en dash (–)
  • follow the order of the names as they appear on the source document or work

If the citation is repeated often, corporate authors can be abbreviated to save on word count!
