A Few Too Many Oopsies in the New APA Style Manual

APA style manual, 6th editionThe first printing of the new sixth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, which I have yet to purchase, apparently has a good many errors, and those who peruse the APA web site won't easily find links to list of corrections. This article in the online magazine Inside Higher Ed contains links to pages on the APA site detailing the corrections, including corrections to four error-laden sample research papers.

You might also find the APA's blog APA Style helpful in figuring out what's changed and what's an error in the new edition of the style manual.

These errors are relatively minor compared to an organization that gives a pass to members that are involved in torture at Gitmo. The APA is yet another organization that needs reform.
