APA 7th Edition Guide: Home

Mastering APA Style is an important skill for your studies and future career. This guide is here to help you clearly and accurately share your research and ideas, following the standards for academic communication. Using APA Style helps readers follow your points more easily, allows them to concentrate on your ideas without being distracted by unusual formatting, and builds your credibility in your subject area. Students can find the official Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) at the UNT Dallas Library.
