How do I do APA citations for multiple entries with the same author and date?

For example, Whole Foods (2019) website has information about the company, work force, organic foods, etc. In text citation would be (Whole Foods, 2019) for each. Would I put an "a" for company info and a "b" for work force information after the date? For example, Whole Foods, 2019a or Whole Foods, 2019b.


Answer

Yes, use the lower case a, b, c with the year in both the in-text citation and on the References page.

Decide which entry gets the a, b, c, and so on by alphabetizing the titles of the sources.

Example-References page:

Whole Foods. (2019a). Careers. Webpage URL

Whole Foods. (2019b). Leadership team. Webpage URL

Whole Foods. (2019c). Organic foods. Webpage URL.

In-text citation:

Kelly Jones said the company "is concentrating on organic foods by customer demand" (Whole Foods, 2019c, para. 3).
