APA StyleAPA style officially refers to The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, a book of over 400 pages now in its fifth edition. It is published by the American Psychological Association, which is the main scholarly organization for academic psychologists in the United States. A well-known alternative approach is the MLA style manual. APA style specifies, for example, the names and order of headings, the formatting and organization of citations and references, and the arrangement of tables, figures, footnotes, and appendices. Although some writers would prefer not to adopt the APA writing style, it is widely recognized that it serves a useful purpose. Consistent writing styles in journals allows for ease of navigation by readers. Writers with questions of style also have a guide for reference.
