In this seventh edition, the editors finally conceded to good sense to recommend only one space after punctuation at the end of a sentence, a stance that took academic Twitter by storm. But there are more significant updates to the previous edition (2010) that make scholarly communication clearer and more effective. Guidelines on layout, font, and other formatting issues reflect a better understanding of accessibility and the prevalence of assistive devices like screen readers. The singular they is encouraged to refer to a person whose gender is unknown, and there is a greatly expanded and updated chapter on bias-free language, addressing not just gender, but also age, disability, racial and ethnic identity, socioeconomic status, and other topics. The new chapter on journal-article reporting standards (JARS) covers what information authors should include for maximum clarity and accuracy for both quantitative and qualitative research. As always, the manual overall is cogently organized and easy to use. Libraries should replace all older editions with this one.

Many students look upon citation writing with a shudder, but proper citing is vital to good scholarship. Here a team of style and publication experts covers APA-style grammar and format, which is used by scientific journals and in many graduate and undergraduate classes. The volume also tackles big-picture issues including copyright, plagiarism, the publication process, and predatory journals.
Copyright 2019 LJExpress.VERDICT Taking on everything from tables and figures to bias-free language, this is a clear guide to APA style. Though much of the information is available online, the print format is concise and well organized.âMaggie Knapp, Trinity Valley Sch., Fort Worth, TX
