APA Style Guidelines

The fifth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2001) provides detailed instructions on the preparation of a research article. 

In this on-line manual, we provide both a brief tutorial on APA style and a more extensive reference section. These resources are not intended as replacements for the APA Publication Manual, but will serve the needs of most students in this regard.
