Information from Dr. Van Tassell  The APA Style is a formal framework for writing manuscripts, theses, and dissertations.  Most education articles are written in APA style.  How may you acquire APA style skills?  Access APA from the web (www.apa.org)www.apa.org  Access www.vanguard.edu/psychology/apa.html or other university websiteswww.vanguard.edu/psychology/apa.html  Purchase the APA Style Manual, 6 th Ed.  Watch how other authors write and reference.

3. Danger Will Robinson If you purchased an early printing of the 6 th Edition, you likely have errors. A way to test that is to find the page that refers to the running head. If your copy states that you should place “Running head” on all pages, that is the incorrect printing. If your copy is incorrect, you should write APA and ask for the supplementary pages so that you have the correct rules. Check on the 4 th page inside the front cover
