Winner of the IBPA’s Benjamin Franklin Award
Widely followed style guide for academic papers.
*The Wall Street Journal*
I strongly encourage you to dig into the rich resource of the 7th
Edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association. I am thoroughly energized about the ways this guide
can push language forward.
*American Library Association’s Rainbow Round Table*
Gather round, style hounds: the seventh edition of the American
Psychological Association’s Publication Manual…includes some
(pretty) significant changes.
*Inside Higher Ed*
An endorsement from the APA is a big deal for the singular 'they.'
The APA is the largest scientific and professional organization of
psychologists in the United States, with over 118,000 members. The
Publication Manual is used by all writers, researchers, editors,
students, and educators in a wide variety of disciplines, so this
clarification has the potential to significantly expand the use of
inclusive language.
*Out*
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association
(APA) has gone through it’s first update in a decade. One of the
major changes in this seventh edition is a full embracing of the
singular ‘they’ pronoun…. This full acceptance in the APA style
guide is major. And wonderful.
*Medium*
One of the most popular guides for academic writing standards
across the curriculum. For many editors, faculty, and students,
this means mastering new rules in short order… all appearances
indicate that the changes will be mostly user-friendly…The worst
thing about change is often the unknown. This quick glimpse at what
the APA has in store offers encouraging news about the road
ahead.
