What is a style guide?
All fields of study have had to agree on certain standards for their written publications. When their is a constant format writers can rely on certain conventions to make their writing better and have their sources easily identified. APA stands for American Psychological Association--they define their style guide as follows: APA (American Psychological Association) "style is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences. This resource, revised according to the 6th edition, second printing of the APA manual, offers examples for the general format of APA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the reference page". For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (6th ed., 2nd printing). |
