Citing Sources

 APA 6th Edition Publication Manual
Since the 2001 publication of the 5th edition of the APA manual, there have been many changes to publication and communication formats, e.g. ebooks, Wikis, podcasts, databases and the web. The 6th edition of the APA manual, published in 2009, was produced to respond to these changes and update existing guidelines.
