What is a PubMed ID?

PubMed is a widely-used database for life sciences and biomedical topics. A PubMed ID (or PMID) is a 1-8 digit unique reference number for PubMed citations. Some citation styles require the PMID to be included at the end of a citation.

What is a reference list in APA style?

APA stands for American Psychological Association and describes one of the most popular citation styles for scientific writing. APA style uses an author-date reference citation system in the text, accompanied by a reference list at the end of the paper. In the reference list, the author, year, title, and source of the cited works need to be listed in alphabetical order. If a reference is not cited in the text, it should not be included in the reference list. The APA Manual provides all the rules of the APA citation style and is currently in its 7th edition.
