Many people are familiar with APA format in terms of citations and reference list entries. However, there are other APA formatting rules which may seem arbitrary
but are in fact important. APA style is not just about building a writer’s credibility
through the effective use and integration of reputable sources. APA is also
about enhancing your readers’ understanding and respect for your work through format
clarity and using non-biased language.
If you would like to learn more about some of these other APA
nuances, check out our page on “Ten Common APA Nuances.” Whether you are a beginner in building your APA knowledge
or want a refresher, these top common nuances provide a nice, quick reference!

Thursday Thoughts: Connection and Flow
Are
you writing with your readers in mind? There are many aspects to strong
scholarly writing, such as solid claims, using reputable sources, and clear,
solid analysis to support your argument. However, readers may not be able to
fully appreciate your argument if they don’t “see” the connection among your
points.
Connection and flow across paragraphs and among points within paragraphs can help “glue” your overall argument together for readers, making it easier for readers to follow your argument.
