About APA Style®
The best scientific writing is spare and straightforward. It spotlights the ideas being
presented, not the manner of presentation. Manuscript structure, word choice,
punctuation, graphics, and references are all chosen to move the idea forward with a
minimum of distraction and a maximum of precision.
To achieve this clarity of communication, publishers have developed rules of style. These
rules are designed to ensure clear and consistent presentation of written material. Editorial
style concerns uniform use of such elements as
 punctuation and abbreviations
 construction of tables
 selection of headings
 citation of references, and 
 presentation of statistics
When editors or teachers ask you to write in APA Style®, they are referring to the editorial
style that many of the social and behavioral sciences have adopted to present written
material in the field. APA Style was first developed 80 years ago by a group of social
scientists who wished to establish sound standards of communication. Since that time, it
has been adopted by leaders in many fields and has been used by writers around the
world.
APA's style rules and guidelines are set out in a reference book called The Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association.
