APA style is widely used in the social sciences and health sciences.
The 7th ed. of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association was released in 2020. The resources in this section explain the changes from the 6th to 7th eds. of the APA Manual.
Ask your instructor what edition you should use on your papers. After the new release, many instructors may continue to use the 6th ed.
