Product Description

TheConcise Rules of APA Style, sixth edition offers essential writing and formatting standards for students, teachers, researchers, and clinicians in the social and behavioral sciences. This easy-to-use pocket guide, compiled from the sixth edition of thePublication Manual of the American Psychological Association, provides complete guidance on the rules of style that are critical for clear communication. Readers will learn how to avoid the grammatical errors most commonly reported by journal editors; how to choose the appropriate format for statistics, figures, and tables; how to credit sources and avoid charges of plagiarism; and how to construct a reference list through a wide variety of examples and sources.

In addition to guidance on grammar points that have challenged writers in the social sciences, theConcise Rulesprovides suggestions for reducing bias in language; reviews the mechanics of style for punctuation, spelling, capitalization, abbreviation, italicization, headings, and quotations; examines the preferred use of numbers as well as standards for metrication and statistics; provides guidance on the construction and formatting of tables, figures, and appendixes; and offers clear examples and models for citing sources and constructing error-free reference lists.

It offers a comprehensive list of essential writing standards in a convenient, easily retrievable format.

Available in a light-weight, spiral-bound format, theConcise Ruleswill travel easily from home to school to office. It will be an invaluable reference tool for all social science scholars who are serious about communicating clearly and effectively.

• significantly expanded content on the electronic presentation of data to help readers understand the purpose of each kind of display and choose the best match for communicating the results of the investigation, with new examples for a variety of data displays, including electrophysiological and biological data;
• an expanded discussion of electronic sources, emphasizing the role of the digital object identifier (DOI) as a reliable way to locate information; and
• a wealth of new reference examples, with a focus on new electronic formats.

What Students Need to Know About APA Style
This book is a must-have for any undergraduate student in the social sciences. The authors cover everything a student will need with up-to-date information from the corrected 6th edition of the APA manual. They explain APA style's philosophy, then move to grammar errors, plagiarism, and all the specifics of APA format (margins, reference lists, etc.), with a step-by-step guide to convince Microsoft Word to give you the output you want. The EasyGuide is useful as a quick reference or to sit down and read: with a visual "quickfinder" (a sample paper with notes pointing to key pages), it's easy to find what you need. Once you find what you need, the explanations are in clear, simple language, so you don't have to waste time figuring out what they mean. As a student, the EasyGuide is more useful than the APA Publication Manual, because it is directed to students first (unlike the PM), and it is written by professors, a student's own audience. The book is even spiral bound--although it...

Easier than the APA Style Manual
This book is much easier to use than the APA Style Manual. If you need to write a paper using APA style or report research results in APA format, this book is your best choice. There are even screen shots of actual papers with dos and don'ts for writing. It's easy and even fun to read. Highly recommend it to anyone who has to write using APA style.

Does a poor job of explaining how to cite and reference.
I want a book that will teach me how to cite and reference my sources, and THIS IS NOT IT. I want to look at an APA book, and see: Part 1, how to quote from a book. Part 2, how to quote from a peer-reviewed journal. Part 3, how to quote from online resources. Part 4, how to quote from people I've interviewed. Part 5, how to quote from magazine, etc. I want a book that THOROUGHLY and COMPLETELY explains (A) how to cite a source in the body of my paper and (B) how to write my reference page at the back of my paper. THIS BOOK DOES NOT DO THAT. I am sooooo disappointed.Now the compliments: The book I bought has comb binding. I absolutely LOVE comb binding because it lays flat on my desk, and doesn't move. I wish every APA guide was made with comb binding. Comb binding rocks!!!This would be a fantastic book for a high school English class, or for a college English 101 class. There are 20 chapters. An instructor could go through 1-2 chapters every week,...

One of my best investments ... ever
I purchased this book as an afterthought, but after reading the first three of four pages, it bacame one of my best investments. Ms. Houghton takes the reader step by step in setting your computer up in APA Style, then the remainder of the book is a quick reference for some of the most frequently used information. It's compact and now rides in my briefcase all of the time. I have several other learners at my workplace and they now have order copies as well.

Excellent... makes APA style relatively pain free!
This is a great little book that summarizes the most important aspects of APA style. It is concise and easy to follow with just enough examples. I highly recommend you start here before buying the style guide which is more difficult to follow. If you do buy the style guide, get this book to work with and the larger more complicated books as a general reference. There are also many free online resources for APA style and some of them are excellent.

It also sheds new light on the manual using step-by-step processes and exemplification that enable readers to fulfill APA rules and regulations while focusing on the content, rather than the format, of their academic research.

Simplifies the Anguish of APA
No one can ever rationalize the logic in using APA style in areas other than the Psychological Sciences. Yet there we are, those of use whose studies have little or nothing to do with this area of study. In this regard the APA The Easy Way is a godsend. It takes the pain of dealing with the APA Manual, cuts through the BS and tells you the "meat" of what you really need to know to conform to this style of writing. It could definitely use some more sample papers. It would help to make comprehending the style easier if you could see it used is someone's work. Additionally, it would help immensely if it quoted the page numbers in the actual APA Manual from where each area addressed was taken from. This would help just in case you are challenged to provide a specific reference from where you followed APA formatting. All-in-all a very simple and easy-to-use guide that helps take the sting out of writing APA style.

Mr. Perrins guide is absolutely excellent. It immediately had me writing in the proper format for APA. Any questions I had were well answered.

Great desk reference for serious students not sure about the details of APA format
This spiral bound desk reference provides a quick look up when not sure of details related to APA format. The chapters are organized in a way to give the reader information from beginning the paper to APA manuscripts, including reference citations. While not meant to be all inclusive it is much handier than searching through the publication manual. Recommended for students who write papers on a routine basis and, from time to time, need to double check their papers.
