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

Nancy – Thanks for this heads up. I teach for the U. of Phoenix. As a matter of policy we use APA as a requirement for all submittals by our students….and, we are transitioning to the 6th Edition right now. I’ll watch from updates on this.
