Question

To determine which Zotero-generated APA citation is most accurate, we need to compare how APA 7th edition formats author names, year, article title, journal name, volume, article number, and DOI across the options.
Option A: 'A. Memarian, B., & Doleck, T. (2023). Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics (FATE) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and higher education: A systematic review. Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence, 5, 100152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.caeai.2023.100152'
- This option uses a plausible author format with last name, initial(s), and a correct pairing of authors Memarian and Doleck.
- The year is placed after the authors, which matches APA style.
- The article title appears with proper capitalization for title case in APA, including the subtitle in parentheses as part of the title.
- The journal name is written as 'Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence,' which should in APA be 'Computers & Education: Artificial Intelligence' with an ampersand and not the word 'and.' This is a small but meaningful formatting deviation.
- The volume is given as '5' and the article number as '100152,' which aligns with how some journals present articles in place of page ranges.
- The DOI is included and resolves to the correct pattern.
Option B: 'B. B. Memarian and T. Doleck, “Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics (FATE) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and higher education: A systematic review,” Comput. Educ. Artif. Intell., vol. 5, p. 100152, 2023, doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.caeai.2023.100152.'
- This citation uses abbreviated journal names (Comput. Educ. Artif. Intell.) which is not typically APA 7th style for journal titles; APA expects a full, properly formatted journal name when possible.
- The author formatting includes a stray initial placement ('B. Memarian and T. Doleck') that could be acceptable, but the article title is wrapped with quotation marks in a way that APA normally presents without quotation marks for article titles; capitalization of the article title also diverges from standard APA sentence-style capitalization.
- The phrase 'p. 100152' is inconsistent with the common APA format for article numbers; APA would present the article number after the volume, separated by a comma, not as a page indicator. The overall punctuation and ordering deviate from clean APA conventions.
Option C: 'C. Memarian, Bahar, and Tenzin Doleck. 2023. “Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics (FATE) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Higher Education: A Systematic Review.” Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence 5: 100152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.caeai.2023.100152.'
- This option misidentifies the authors: it lists three authors (Memarian, Bahar, and Tenzin Doleck) whereas the actual contributors are Memarian and Doleck; introducing 'Bahar' and 'Tenzin' misstates the author list.
- The year is in parentheses after the authors, which is acceptable, but the author list itself is incorrect.
- The article title uses title case with a colon and quotation marks, but APA would present the title without quotation marks and with sentence-style capitalization for the main title.
- The journal name is formatted similarly to option A but again uses 'Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence' rather than the precise APA convention 'Computers & Education: Artificial Intelligence.' The overall structure is closer to APA skeleton but the author names are incorrect, making the citation inaccurate.

In summary, Option B and Option C contain formatting or factual issues that conflict with standard APA conventions as applied by citation management tools, particularly in journal name formatting and author lists. Option A aligns most closely with the expected APA structure and content, despite the minor journal-name punctuation nuance (ampersand vs. and). Therefore, Option A is the citation that Zotero would most plausibly generate in APA style for this article, with the understanding that automated tools may standardize journal punctuation (using '&' for the journal name) in final output.
