APA Style FAQ Q: In a reference, if an article's title ends with a question mark, should you also include the period that usually ends the title element? A: Don't add a period. The question mark replaces the usual period. Example: Peng, D., Iqbal, Z., & Zentall, T. R. (2026). Ephemeral reward task: Why is it so difficult for pigeons to learn it? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 52(1), 9–15. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000397 (In the image, there is a circle drawing attention to the question mark that appears after the word "it" and before the beginning of the journal's title.)
This FAQ is about punctuation in references. Each element of #APAStyle references (i.e., the author, date, title, and source) usually ends with a period.
👉 An exception is when the title element ends in a question mark, as in this example.

New study reveals that not all narcissists fantasize the same: grandiose types lean into dominance, malignant narcissists show the most intense non-normophilic fantasies, and vulnerable narcissism isn’t linked to sexual fantasies.

How do college students seek help? Most stick to system-embedded supports, but top performers also use personalized help like tutoring. Lower performers rely more on group sessions & forums. Adapting help-seeking may boost success!

We developed a program-wide no-gen-AI policy for theses and dissertations, and that has been helpful. So far, most seem to understand and agree with it.
That's discouraging. Thanks for the heads up about this.

One thing I've found helpful is to start by working with the student to develop a detailed timeline. Chances are, it will be their first time doing this too. I usually start with the key deadlines and work backward to schedule the smaller tasks along the way. Helps things seem less overwhelming.
