How do you reference a questionnaire?
Cite your questionnaire using the style format you have chosen. For example, in APA style, the last name of the first author is placed first followed by a comma and the author’s first initial followed by a period and a comma. If a year for the questionnaire is available, it follows the author’s name and is enclosed with parenthesis.
