The "Publication Manual" is the style manual of choice for writers, editors, students, and educators. Although it is specifically designed to help writers in the behavioral sciences and social sciences, anyone who writes non-fiction prose can benefit from its guidance. The newly-revised Sixth Edition has not only been rewritten. It has also been thoroughly rethought and reorganized, making it the most user-friendly "Publication Manual" the APA has ever produced. You will be able to find answers to your questions faster than ever before. When you need advice on how to present information, including text, data, and graphics, for publication in any type of format--such as college and university papers, professional journals, presentations for colleagues, and online publication--you will find the advice you're looking for in the "Publication Manual."
It provides invaluable guidance on all aspects of the writing process, from the ethics of authorship to the word choice that best reduces bias in language.Beware of knock-offs! I am giving the low star amount because I believe I was sent a knock-off of the real thing. Although it was new and packaged, as soon as I pulled off the wrapping I noticed it had a horrid smell. I've never smelled anything like it, so it's hard to describe. But it's terrible! Then I began reading it. The pages were faded in some spots, and there are very bad spelling errors throughout what I have read so far. I had to go to my college bookstore and buy a copy from them, and I compared the real one with whatever the heck was sent to me. I am attaching pics to show how bad it is. There are a lot more errors, I am just posting a couple. I am returning it immediately. It sounds like most people are getting the real deal, but do be aware that there are bad copies going around as well.I just wanted to add that I am not talking about the errors that accompanied the first printing, this was supposedly a 7th printing with the "errors" fixed. This was a book that had clearly been badly re-typed by someone, as can be seen in the pics I included. This is a counterfeit product IMO.The index (list of contents) could be better organized. The spiral bound version is handy to use. What can I say? The APA is the APA, and if you're dealing with term papers, it's a must-have. I got the spiral version, which I strongly recommend, because it will lie flat while you search for the guidelines you need.My reason for rating it four stars rather than five is due to the way the APA organizes the guide, not due to the print or binding quality of the actual manual. I've used MLA as well as APA, and I find the index listings of the APA needlessly difficult and intuitively lacking. While it's true there are things we didn't need a few years ago (the various only citation guides, etc.) there's no real reason for the manual to be organized so you have to search for several terms before you find the right one (and sometimes you still don't find it). The earliest printing of this edition had errors in it (go figure!).As a university instructor, I think the manual could benefit from additional paragraph-length examples so students can see how a full paragraph would look with the various iterations of author and page citation criteria.In case anyone needs to know this - you can also find most (or all) of the manual on the APA website. Purdue OWL is, of course, a go-to site where we refer students, but I've learned it may not be as updated as we need.Have a strong pot of coffee or a glass of wine handy if you're using this style for the first time. It is what it is, and we have to live with it.Lots of stuff about publication...may be more than you're looking for in an APA guide for college papers. It's pretty comprehensive...has a lot of stuff about publication...and publishing...as well as the usual APA punctuation and grammar rules for the style.If your an undergrad student...this manual may be more than you're looking for when it comes to writing college papers.A lot of what this book has, and more, can be found on "Purdue dot edu" for free. And, it's comprehensive as well.If you're looking for a quick reference...I recommend APA: The Easy Way by Houghton and Houghton. I have grown to appreciate it's simplistic approach to the APA basics .Hope this helped...
