The APA Writing Assistance page provides in-depth assistance with the principle writing style used in Business and Psychology, APA (American Psychological Association) style. There are several style guides, but APA is the simplest to use. Using a style guide such as APA helps to organize your work and to make it visually neat and clear. There are links in this site to MLA, Chicago, Turabian and other style guides. |

I have written an exemplar APA Style Guide sample document in Word, reflecting changes reflected in the Sixth and most recent edition (2010) of the guide (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association). It is recommended that you read through the simple Sample Word Document to get a feel for what APA style looks like. |
