APA admits errors in their new manual – BibMe unaffected

Posted December 1, 2009
Filed under: BibMe News |

The America Psychological Association has just admitted that the newly published 6th edition of their APA Publication Manual contained a large number of errors, including inaccurate citation examples (for more information, including how to acquire a corrected copy, please visit http://apastyle.apa.org/manual/corrections-faqs.aspx). It’s important that you know this if you are using the new manual to cite your references.

I’d like to stress that BibMe is technically not affected by these errors, as we have not yet implemented or begun to implement the rules/guidelines for APA 6. We are still following APA 5, but we will begin the process of updating to APA 6 once we have our copy of the style manual replaced. Updates on our progress will be posted periodically here on our blog.

    So fortunate to have stumbled upon your website; I just created a bibliography in mere minutes for a rather lengthy list of resources.

    Thanks so much, what a timesaver!
