Writers beware! New Sixth Edition APA style guide has dozens of mistakes and has had to issue corrections

Posted by Nancy on October 29, 2009

This has got to be awkward. The APA (American Psychological Association) has had to issue dozens of corrections to their new Sixth Edition Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association–a resource favored by academics among others. BTW, from my perspective, still nothing beats the incredibly detailed and easy-to-use The Gregg Reference Manual (see link on my Resources page)–especially for business users.
