APA 7th edition

The APA 7th edition is a set of guidelines for writing and citing sources in academic and professional work, developed by the American Psychological Association. It emphasizes clear communication, proper source attribution, and ethical writing practices. Key features include using in-text citations (author's last name and year) and a reference list at the end, formatting documents with specific margins and fonts, and organizing content with headings. The guidelines aim to streamline the writing process, maintain consistency, and enhance the credibility of research by ensuring that sources are properly acknowledged.
