Hands-down the most significant change in the 7th edition of APA is its conscious effort to produce a more student-friendly publication manual. Indeed, APA 7th offers a kinder and gentler student experience, one that expunges a few maddening requirements such as formatting the running head so that it appears one way on the title page and a different way on every other page.
To give you a little taste of what’s to come in the weeks ahead on this blog, we are including a podcast that provides an overview of such key APA changes as student-specific paper formatting requirements, a number of shortcuts to make citation and working with sources easier, and a major and long-anticipated language usage update.
Until next week–
