I thought that some royal person might have written something for the American Psychologist but a search of PsycInfo turns up nothing.

My student is using her autobiography (called *Leap >of Faith)*, as a reference, and the author is listed in the book as "Queen >Noor." Her real name is "Noor Al-Hussein" (or, of course, Lisa Najeeb >Halaby). I think you would get an argument about her "real name" being Lisa Najeeb Halaby. According to the Wikipedia entry on Queen Noor, when she converted to Islam she changed Lisa to Noor. I don't know about the Halaby part. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Noor (a reference for "Leap of Faith" is provided near the bottom of the webpage in what appears to be APA style, sort of). >How to cite in the Reference section? > >Noor, Q. >Noor, A. >Al-Hussein, N. >Halaby, L. N. (a.k.a. Noor, Q.) >??? >None of these sounds correct, but Al-Hussein, N. seems the most valid. Yet >she didn't cite herself that way in her book. Very strange... This is probably something that one of the copy editors at the www.apastyle.org site will have to answer but I can give you examples of what software that tries to apply APA style to references "thinks" it might be. At NYU the CSA Illumina (by Proquest) interface is used and though one can access PsycInfo directly, the interface allows searchs across different databases. Searching for "Queen Noor" anywhere in the text turns up a few hits and the QuickBib software will try to format reference according to APA 6th edition. One should be caution in accepting results from software but it produced the following references: Hussein, q. (1984). Peace efforts: Principles versus practices. (address of her majesty queen noor al hussein, the hashemite kingdom of jordan.) given at the conference on U.S.-arab relations: The current political and social dimensions ... chicago ... 1984 Retrieved from www.csa.com r, Q. o. J. (2004). Leap of faith: Memoirs of an unexpected life / queen noor. paperback ed. London: Phoenix. Retrieved from www.csa.com The "r, Q. o. J." above probably refers to the "Royal Queen, of Jordan". Noor, Q. o. J. (2000). Foreword: The face of daunting challenges. In J. W. Wright Jr, & L. Drake eds (Eds.), Economic and political impediments to middle east peace: Critical questions and alternative scenarios (pp. xix-xxiii). Foreword by Queen Noor of Jordan. International Political Economy Series. New York: St. Martin's Press; London: Macmillan Press. Retrieved from www.csa.com Finally, an article in the Journal "Violence Against Women" cite a statement by Queen Noor on the website of one of the organizations she is involved in and used the following format: Queen Noor, H.M. (1999). Women press releases [Online}.
