What is a PubMed ID?

A PubMed ID (or PMID) is a 1-8 digit unique identification number assigned to all records in PubMed. PMIDs are assigned to research articles as well as other documents published in indexed journals, including letters to the editor and opinion pieces.

What is a reference list in APA style?

The APA citation style provides a framework of styling rules for academic papers. The American Psychological Association publishes a Manual which contains guidelines on paper structure and content, writing and formatting, and crediting sources. The APA style mandates short citations in-text and a reference list at the end of the document. In-text citations are presented in an author-date format, e.g. (Suliman, 2018). The reference list contains the author, year, title, and source of the cited works, at a minimum. It does not contain any references that were not cited in the paper.
