Publication Manual (OFFICIAL) 7th Edition of the American Psychological Association

I bought the APA 7th Edition manual for my college research papers, and it’s been a lifesaver. Compared to the older edition, this one feels much clearer and way easier to navigate. The full-color layout and the examples throughout really help when I’m stuck on how to format citations or references. I especially appreciate the new sections tailored for students like me—it’s not just for professional writers anymore. Plus, the tips on inclusive language made me think more carefully about how I write. It’s definitely a dense read if you try to go cover-to-cover, but as a reference book, it’s super practical. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey, but for the quality and how often I use it, it’s totally worth it. If you’re in school or need to write APA-style papers regularly, I’d recommend grabbing this manual. It makes the whole process less stressful.

This book is a must have for collage courses. Easy to reference and find examples on how to reference sources. A lot of valuable information. Bought one for each of my kids.

Very good for school! Very sturdy and the pages are just thick enough

Looks new, no torn pages, price is good, no writings, and way better than what's described.

This book helped me a lot in class and it was in great condition.

Among my other writing-related pursuits, I edit PhDs. This APA 7 manual is a big improvement over earlier APA editions. The primary purpose of any edition is to update the APA standards. This manual is packed with content and examples that were IMO long overdue. For instance, there are templates to show the order of data for Reference entries, and there are side-by-side examples of Reference and in-text citations. I ordered the wire-bound version because it works well in any workspace (i.e., you can easily fold the book in half or leave it wide open. The chapters are divided by tabs, with the ToC (table of contents) for that chapter printed on the tab. Compared to earlier versions, the font is smaller, but it remains highly readable. The margins are wide enough for notes. There are several downsides to the manual that I hope will be resolved in the next edition: (a) For such a large manual, the cover on the wirebound copy is both too short and relatively flimsy. It is too short because it is only the width of the pages. It does not extend over the tabs. It is too flimsy because it is the same weight as earlier and less substantial manuals. (b) There is no tab for the index. (c) Although the font in the chapters is a sufficient size, the font in the index is much smaller and the index pages are crowded; there is less room in the margins for taking notes. I dealt with the cover-related problems by cutting up a transparent binder/page sleeve for the front, back, and spine of the cover, and by creating my own tab for the index. There's nothing to be done for the index font except to live with it. You can get the gist of what I've reported here by looking at the pictures I've attached.

Went back to college and had to write in APA format. This book was a good guide with great examples.

Purchased this for my PhD course writing and dissertation process. This is a must-have for higher education writing. Easy reference.

Je recommande ! Le manuel correspond aux attentes de l’académie.

A must have for acadamecians and prolific writer's.

The definitive official guide to APA Style. It's a genuine pleasure to use this guide because the descriptions are written so clearly, and are presented in such a clear layout. There are just enough examples to illustrate many of the rules, and the colour highlighting and annotation enhance the explanations. It's so interesting just browsing the text and learning random principles. Because the whole point of APA Style is to enhance understanding and visual clarity, there's nothing to argue about - they really have got everything right! The inside front and back covers show perhaps the most frequently consulted rules for headings, citations & references to eliminate having to search inside - very considerate. My only complaint is that the index is not as complete as it could have been, even though it's over 20 pages long.

Dopo aver letto alcune recensioni recenti, ero riluttante a ordinare una copia ‘flessibli’ (soft cover) della settima edizione della guida di stile APA. La mia copia è stata inviata dall'Essex, in Inghilterra, ed è arrivata puntuale a casa mia nel Nord Italia. Sono molto soddisfatto della qualità del libro. Le sue pagine sono simili ad altri libri di testo tipici. Non ho dubbi che sarà abbastanza durevole come libro di riferimento che userò spesso. Pesa 698 grammi nominali. È 253 x 178 x 11 mm. Ha circa 440 pagine numerate comprese le sue pagine introduttive e alcune pagine bianche sul retro. Il testo è di facile lettura, i colori sono nitidi e puliti e la mia copia non aveva praticamente difetti fisici. Finora, non ho trovato nessuno degli errori di ortografia o grammatica menzionati in altre recensioni. Non commenterò la veridicità del suo stile e delle regole grammaticali - ci sono già abbastanza persone che ne parlano. Inoltre, la maggior parte delle persone interessate a questo libro ne comprende l'uso e i limiti. Desidero evidenziare o ricordare alle persone che è principalmente scritto da una prospettiva inglese americano - ortografia, abbreviazioni, quasi senza sistemazione per l'inglese britannico o le lingue non inglesi. Cercherò di includere alcune foto nella mia recensione, ma a volte le mie foto non vengono visualizzate con altre recensioni. Quindi, menzionerò anche, la copertina posteriore ha un codice di risposta rapida, codice QR, che puoi scansionare per confermare la validità del libro. Se leggi recensioni che dicono che la carta è troppo sottile o troppo facile da strappare, ti assicuro che la copia europea spedita dall'Inghilterra è standard per carta di qualità normale. Più leggera della tipica carta per fotocopiatrici - più pesante della carta da giornale o delle pagine di riviste. È uguale o migliore di tutte le mie altre guide di stile e ne ho diverse.

Das APA-Manual in Spiralbindung mit dem Register ist eine feine Sache. Man findet sich schnell zurecht, die wichtigen Themen sind mit Beispielabbildungen ergänzt. Ein unverzichtbarer Helfer für die Bachelorarbeit. Allerdings wäre es optimal, das Ganze auch als elektronische Ausgabe (neben Kindle) anzubieten. Man findet auf den APA Seiten zwar auch alles online, muss aber zeitaufwändig zusammensuchen, was man braucht. Ein eBook mit Suchfunktion wäre da ideal. Aber auch die Druckversion wird eine große Hilfe sein für alle formalen Aspekte der Bachelorarbeit. Etwas verwirrend ist die Darstellung der unterschiedlichen Druckformate, die angeboten werden: Neben dem Titel stehen Kindle-Version (22,07 Euro), Taschenbuch (29,13 Euro), gebundene Ausgabe (44,99 Euro) und Ausgabe mit Spiralbindung (45,99 Euro). Weiter unten werden Darstellungen mit Preisen kombiniert, die den oberen Angaben widersprechen – dort steht etwa unter der Abbildung der Spiralbindungsausgabe der Preis 29,13 Euro, was nicht sitmmt, dieser Preis gehört eigentlich zur Taschenbuchausgabe (die Spiralbindungsausgabe ist mit 45,99 Euro wesentlich teurer!). Das sollte nochmal korrigiert werden, verunsichert bei der Auswahl.
