APA 7th Edition 10 question quiz • Mastering APA style often presents a challenge to those unaccustomed to academic writing. However, there are several reasons why perfecting APA style is an essential part of academic scholarship. At the most practical level, APA writing conventions provide a common, standardized language for sharing work with others. Others can easily read and understand work presented in APA style, and they can quickly identify the resources used to complete the work.
APA citation enables scholars to meet their ethical obligation to give other authors proper credit for their work; however, mastery of APA style goes beyond practical or even ethical concerns. Use of APA style serves as a signal to other scholars that a researcher is serious about his or her work and applies the same degree of precision in his or her writing as in his or her research in the field. Using APA style enables scholars to be practical, ethical, and credible. To prepare, review the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
