On October 1, APA released the 7th edition of its Publication Manual. This post from APA’s blog offers a preview of some of the changes, many of which simplify previous guidelines and account for new technologies and changes to academic language conventions. The Writing Center is working with members of Walden leadership to establish a timeline for Walden’s adoption of this new edition, which will be sometime in 2020. For now, all students will continue using the guidelines in the 6th edition of the manual. Stay tuned to our APA 7 Transition page for more information, and send any questions to APA7@mail.waldenu.edu.
