APA Style Recommendations
APA Style Recommendations
APA 7 includes a number of stylistic recommendations for writers. These include:
Bias: In general, avoid false hierarchies in your writing and compare groups with care. When writing about people, take identities such as age, disability, gender, race, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status into consideration. For more information and examples see the APA Style Blog on Bias-free Language.
Style and Formatting: Effective scholarly writing should be clear and consistent. Some recommendations include information about abbreviations, list formatting, table layout and numbering, and capitalization. For more information the APA Style Guide on Mechanics of Style.
