What is a PubMed ID?

A PMID, also known as PubMed ID or PubMed reference number, is a 1-8 digit number assigned by the NIH National Library of Medicine to papers indexed in PubMed. The PubMed ID can be used to locate and retrieve a specific article in the PubMed database and is also required to be provided in some citation styles.

What is a reference list in APA style?

A reference list is a formatted list of all sources you cited in your paper. This means that anytime you cite any works or individuals whose ideas, theories, or research have directly influenced your work, you need to credit them in your reference list. APA is one of the most popular citation styles and was developed by the American Psychological Association to standardize scientific writing. It provides rules and guidelines as to how to format your reference list. All the rules of the APA style can be found in the current version of the APA Manual (7th edition).
