The APA 7th edition (American Psychological Association, 2019) is a widely used academic writing and citation style designed to promote clarity, consistency, and precision in scholarly communication. While it originated in the social and behavioral sciences, it is now common across disciplines because of its clear structure and accessibility.
What it excels in:
Clarity: Encourages precise, direct writing.
Consistency: Offers detailed, uniform rules for citations and formatting.
Accessibility: Prioritizes inclusive, bias-free language and readability.
Digital readiness: Adapts well to online sources and modern publishing formats.
