• If for one year there are several editions of one author, then in the reference list such sources should be arranged according to the alphabet.

• If the publication doesn't have an author, but the official page contains the compiler, the responsible editor, etc., they can be indicated in place of the author, resorting to the appropriate APA standards: (Comp.), (Ed.), etc.
• In the presence of canonical editions of classical works with conventional pagination, it is better to refer to it, rather than to the pages.
