      APA Guidelines - Thomas Smith

      Introduction

      This is a guide to American Psychological Association (APA) rules used in academic writing

      Important: The rules covered in this guide are accurate according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association 6th edition

      What Is APA Style?

      An editorial style developed by the American Psychological Association for use in the books and journals it publishes, using scholarly journal articles as its standard medium

      Other social and behavioral sciences have also adopted APA style for their own written material, including dissertations, scholarly papers, and manuscripts

      Designed to provide clarity by standardizing structure and format

      Focuses on ethical authorship and research, as well as minimizing bias in writing

      Editorial style refers to the rules or guidelines a publisher uses to ensure consistent presentation of written material; it includes:

      Punctuation and abbreviations

      Table construction

      Heading selection

      Reference citation

      Using electronic references

      Presenting statistics

      When to Use APA Style

      Used for manuscripts in the behavioral and social sciences as well as nursing and business

      The purpose of APA style is to share results with the scientific community in a concise and recognizable format

      Use APA style for papers and research that will be submitted or published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and for most coursework in the behavioral and social sciences

      Scientific Writing

      APA style focuses on achieving the goals of accuracy, ethics, and intellectual rights within scientific writing

      Primary Publications

      Researchers should utilize primary publications as sources; primary publications are respected and recognized as accurate and valid due to their stringent academic standards

      Primary publications as recognized by the APA:

      Literature reviews

      Describe a problem, explore prior research into the problem, and situate the manuscript within the context of prior research

      Case studies

      Demonstrate problems, indicate solutions, and explore applications or further needed research

      Methodological articles

      Disclose methodological approaches

      Theoretical articles

      Explore existing literature and research to perpetuate theories

      Empirical studies

      Describe original research on a tested hypothesis that develops and investigates a problem; explores procedures and methods in the study; and describes, analyzes, and discusses the results

      Other APA Standards

      Data retention and sharing

      It is the responsibility of the researchers to give editors access to their information at any point in the publication process, even after publication

      Authors should keep their data for at least five years after the publication date

      Plagiarism and self-plagiarism

      Plagiarism: It is expected
