Abstract

The American Psychological Association's (APA) Publication Manual has been updated to replace the sixth version, which was released in 2010. In the sixth edition, there were major revisions, particularly to the references and heading levels (Ho, 2020). Updates and new criteria have also been included to the seventh edition to satisfy the demands of its users, such as mentioning social media postings, videos, podcast episodes, and other electronic material.
The APA seventh edition publication manual's revisions are planned to be fully implemented by the middle of 2020. As a result, scholars should acquaint themselves with the most recent revisions in order to teach students to use the current version. Authors and researchers who want to submit and publish articles to social science and education peer reviewed international journals should follow the updated guidelines outlined in the latest edition. The main focus of this presentation is on the significant changes to in-text citations and references, formatting, tables, and figures. With examples, the differences between APA 6 and APA 7 are discussed.
Our graduate colloquium participants are advised to consult the publication manual for complete details on the modifications and explanations that accompany them. The APA style website (https://apastyle.apa.org) also has a good overview of the most recent modifications. The Walden University Writing Center (2020) offers numerous good comparison tables outlining the key changes between APA 6 and APA 7, which scholars may find it useful.
To conclude, A. For all colloquium participants: To avoid accusations of plagiarism and to allow our readers to recover the material if they so desire, we as authors must be informed about appropriately documenting our sources. B. For the Department: Because (academic) honesty is the best policy, I think it is also the department’s obligation to teach graduate students & staff concerning properly citing their sources using contemporary publication manual.
