APA Overview AGED 520V
Organization • Ch 1: Content and Organization of a Manuscript • Ch 2: Expressing Ideas and Reducing Bias in Language • Ch 3: APA Editorial Style • Ch 4: Reference List • Ch 5: Manuscript Preparation and Sample Papers • Ch 6: Material Other Than Journal Articles
Organization, cont’d • Ch 7: Manuscript Acceptance and Production • Ch 8: Journals Program of the APA • Bibliography • Appendixes A & B: Manuscript Checklists • Appendix C: Ethics • Appendix D: Legal Materials • Appendix E: Sample Cover Letter • INDEX
How Authors Use the Manual • Most start with the index • Many bookmark frequently-used pages, and some use complex tab systems • I use paperclips and sticky notes • Many refer to the MS examples on pp. 306 to 320 • Some are tempted to follow the style of the manual itself. THIS IS A BAD IDEA. The manual doesn’t always follow its own style.
