Suppose I did a study of persons impressions on viewing graphs of various styles. I might cite the tweet that started this discussion as an example.
The inline citation might read like this: "Examples of potentially confusing graphics are regularly presented by media 'watchdogs' (e.g., Keller, 2013)." The reference list entry would then be this: Keller, J. K. [jk_keller]. (2013, December 10).

I have pointed out that this includes Tweets and though I could not think of a instance of when one would want to cite a tweet in a paper it is possible that such an instance could occur. The APA website apastyle and the APA guide to electronic resources would have to be consulted in order to (a) determine how to cite the tweet and (b) whether one needs to provide a reference for the tweet (in contrast to a "personal communication" though this doesn't seem appropriate given that it is a "public communication"). I now am happy to have an example of a tweet that one might want to reference in a manuscript. ;-) <snips> --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
