As you may have heard, APA released a new, seventh edition of
its Publication Manual on October 1. For now, Walden will continue using the sixth
edition of the manual, so no actions are needed from students or faculty yet!
The Writing Center is working with academic leaders to ensure the transition to
the updated manual will be smooth, and to communicate timelines and other
details of this transition as they are decided.
Walden Writing Center staff members have all received copies
of the seventh edition of the APA manual and are currently doing a close read
to understand the changes that come with it. Throughout November, we’ll be
assembling a document detailing these changes, which we’ll use to make the
needed revisions to our own resources and to develop student and faculty
training. Faculty and students will be receiving a communication in the next
few weeks with some clarification on this transition and the next steps.
In the meantime, Walden students, faculty, and staff can
visit the APA Transition Page on the Writing Center website for announcements related to
APA 7 and send any questions about this transition to the Writing Center at APA7@mail.waldenu.edu.
The Walden University Writing Center provides a broad range of writing instruction and editing services for students, including writing assistance for undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral capstone writers.
