Editing might be needed
The new APA style does not include URLs for articles and ebooks from library databases, so RefWorks will not include them in your bibliographies. However, if your electronic article or ebook does NOT come from a library database, you will need to add the URL to the citation. Remember, it's always a good idea to double check your bibliography, even if you are using a citation tool!
