There is no strict advice in the APA Style Manual about citing concordances or lexicons. The Research Librarians decided to model these entries similar to dictionary citations. The APA website offers specific guidance on how to structure dictionary entries. You can structure your concordance or lexicon entries in a similar fashion, as follows:
Online:
Template: Name of Concordance. (Publication date). Number & word. Access point. Retrieval date, retrieval link.
Print:
Template: Author/editor/publisher. (Publication date). Number & word. Name of concordance or lexicon (edition, page number).
