Summary

This accessible and invaluable workbook-style reference guide offers students both a quick reference to APA style and a place for them to practice what they've learned. The authors encourage students to go to already-published articles as models so they are introduced to journal sources. Interactive exercises allow students to work with actual articles and, in the process, begin to see commonalties that ease them into emulating the required style and language suggested in the Publication Manual of the APA.
