Many new features in apaquarto, a Quarto template extension that takes care of the otherwise fussy details of APA style. Creates documents in journal, manuscript, and student modes and renders in .docx, .html, and .pdf (via Typst or LaTeX).

Margins in #APAStyle papers are typically set at 1 inch on all sides (top, bottom, left, and right).

👉 But, for dissertations or theses, you may need different margins (to accommodate binding). Check your institution's dissertations and theses guidelines or ask your advisor.

Why are references important? Why can't authors just provide links for online works they are citing?

Check out this short clip from our YouTube channel for some of the reasons why references are helpful for both readers and authors:

🔗 youtube.com/clip/UgkxsIl...

#APAreferences
Why So Many Reference Details? References provide context and leave a trail of clues if links fail. * Writing a reference gives you a chance to evaluate the source. * Formatting distinguishes the elements. A figure shows the relationship between the author, date, title, and source elements of a reference and those details as shown on the first page of a journal article. This figure can also be found at https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/basic-principles

Paraphrasing isn’t about swapping enough words to make a new version of a sentence (known as “patchwriting”). Instead, it’s about understanding ideas and expressing them, with accuracy, in your own voice. (1/4)
