American Psychological Association Publication Manual Hardcover 7th Edition—Official APA Style Guide

Product Description

The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is the official guide to APA style. This seventh edition, presented in hardcover, comprises 428 pages and serves as the primary reference for writing, formatting, and citing sources across psychology and related social sciences. It provides detailed instructions on structuring papers, presenting statistical results, and formatting in-text citations and reference lists to align with APA standards.
