Synopsis

This accessible and invaluable workbook-style reference guide offers students both a quick reference to APA style and a place for them to practice what they've learned. The authors encourage students to go to already-published articles as models so they are introduced to journal sources. Interactive exercises allow students to work with actual articles and, in the process, begin to see commonalties that ease them into emulating the required style and language suggested in the Publication Manual of the APA.

Review:

"I am impressed by the fact that every common mistake my students (and other writers) make is addressed in this book. In every case the logic (what makes the mistake a mistake) is spelled out clearly and preferred options are stipulated."

"...the text (is) a valuable resource for all social work students. It is well organized and well-written."

"This is a simple, straightforward, user-friendly APA writing guide for social work students and professionals."
