APA Style Guide: Brochures & pamphlets

This guide is designed to help students learn about APA style and cite sources for their research.

Quick Tips

References to brochures or pamphlets are formatted in the same way as those to entire books.  If the author is a corporation or organization, begin the reference with the corporate author. In square brackets after the title, identify the publication as a brochure.

Often a brochure or a pamphlet will not contain all of the information you require for a reference.  If there is no date of publication, use the abbreviation n.d. (for "no date").  

Brochures & Pamphlets

Information required for a reference to a brochure or pamphlet includes:

  • Author or corporate author
  • Date of publication
  • Title
  • Publisher
  • URL to brochure if published online

Examples of References:

Alzheimer's Association. (2008, March). Behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of Alzheimer's disease [Brochure].

Examples of In-Text Citations:

Parenthetical: (Canadian Ophthalmological Association, 2007)

When references are required for a brochure you have created, list those references on the last page and follow report references format.
