APA 7 Citation Style: Database Article with More Than Three Authors

When using journal articles from the WCCC databases, if there is a volume and issue number, you do not need to include a DOI or URL. 

If you do not have a volume and issue number, you need to include either the DOI or a URL to the database itself. 

So, if you are getting an article from EBSCO without volume and issue number and no DOI, you would include the following URL:  http://www.ebsco.com

Note: When you have multiple authors for an article, cite them in the same order as they appear on the article.
