Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association: The Official Guide to APA Style

摘要

It's been a decade since the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychobgical Association appeared, and at last we now have the seventh edition. Like most publishers and organizations that base their house style on APA guidelines, Technical Communication is working toward the transition, which APA originally hoped would be complete for all users by mid-2020.You'll find hundreds of changes large and small between the sixth edition (APA 6) and the seventh (APA 7). The first thing you may notice is that APA 7 contains 155 more pages in total, and the nicely written index is twice as large. The editorial staff also introduce more graphical detail, printing almost twice as many tables and figures. In addition, the font is noticeably smaller (a major difficulty for me as my eyes are near 80 years of use). This means that much more material has been packed into the volume.
