I'm writing a lab report in LaTeX (Overleaf), using the APA style for referencing. I use the biblatex package with the APA style.
However, in my school's reference guide it says to put the words "Retrieved from" in front of a URL which is not required to have a date retrieved, i.e. sources which do not change over time. apa-biblatex
does not automatically do this, and I can't seem to find a solution which works. The only solution I've found (after at least an hour of googling) is to switch to the package apacite
, but it would be very tedious to do this.
Below is a magazine article from a database which requires a URL but not the date the information was retrieved.
MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[style=apa,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{references.bib}
\begin{document}
\begin{filecontents}{references.bib}
@article{DePalma2005,
%Magazine article from electronic database
author = {DePalma, A.},
year = {2005},
title = {Sequencing in the post-genomic age},
journal = {Bioscience Technology},
volume = {30},
number = {4},
publisher = {Advantage Business Media},
url = {https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A132192766/SCIC?u=kungsholmens&sid=SCIC&xid=beac04f2}
}
\end{filecontents}{references.bib}
\parencite{DePalma2005}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
This gives me this output, without the "Retrieved from":
This is my desired output, with the "Retrieved from" in front of the URL:
Do you have any ideas on how this could be solved? It's really bothering me!
