APA 6th edition

November 3, 2009

I bought a copy of the APA Style Guide, 6th edition soon after it came out. According to this petition, it is riddled with errors, and everyone should get a corrected copy free of charge.

This makes sense if the book does indeed have so many errors. However, the petition doesn’t mention what the errors are; nor does it link to a blog post or similar where the errors are detailed. Seems a bit irresponsible to me.

Update: Here is an errata PDF  produced by the APA. And here is the APA Style Blog, which I never knew existed. An Inside Higher Ed article has more details on the situation.
