Introduction
APA style refers to a set of standard guides developed by the American Psychological Association to aid writers in presenting their ideas in a consistent and unambiguous manner. In 1929, the APA style was first as an article with just seven pages and has gradually grown and evolved in size and scope to a publication manual that takes into account the incessant complexity of the usage and production of scholarly data. The APA style has been said to be the most used style in the school of Continuing Studies as it focuses on social sciences and other related disciplines. In detail, the APA as a manual offers convenient guidance on how data can be formatted and addresses any stylistic hitch that may exist. It also offers certain rules by which sources can be incorporated ethically through approved citation patterns.
There are certain reasons why citation is a useful and accepted practice in academic writing. The most familiar of these reasons is to give credit to others for ideas that are rightfully theirs. Often an overall purpose in academic writing is to exchange and engage with other ideas. Familiarizing ourselves with these citation rules enables us to literally and visibly give credit to the original authors in order to allow readers to easily find the work that is referenced and also avoid the accusation of presenting or claiming someone’s ideas as your own which is called plagiarism. Another reason why citation is useful is because citing sources shows that you are in conversation with other scholars and ideas, thereby helping you establish a liable authority. In general, the more broadly and deeply a writer engages with credible sources, the more the credibility of that writer. The final reason is that citation systems are designed to help readers and audiences locate the sources easily, thereby helping build a comprehendible knowledge surrounding a subject.
The imperatives of incorporating sources correctly can be found in Georgetown’s Honor Code which can be seen in full on the University’s Honor Council webpage. A main thrust of the Georgetown student pledge reads; To be honest in every academic endeavor
, which includes making sure that the writing project clearly shows what has been borrowed from someone else and what is the individual original contribution. The APA manual provides detailed assistance with adhering to that pledge. Specifically, the APA manual requires that works of persons whose theories, ideas or research have directly influenced any work of literature be cited. This applies to citing direct research, paraphrasing and summarizing the work. APA at the same time, emphasizes strongly that such paraphrasing be made in one’s own voice, thereby representing a correction in the wordings or the structure of the original works.
APA style guidelines provide a uniform foundation for scholars to communicate their ideas and findings in a clear, concise and organized form. However, sometimes the uniformity tends to go awry. The APA 6th edition was majorly criticized for its grammar prescriptivism related to pronouns in chapter 3 and this did allow for researchers wanting to respect an individual’s pronouns. This, however, wasn't the only criticism but it was one that was prominent. This wasn’t ideal, as style guides and publication manuals must strike a balance between flexibility and authority. Too much in either direction could detract from its original usefulness. In order to correct these inconsistencies and also account for ongoing changes in scholarship, on August 6th 2019 the APA announced their new 7th edition which went on sale later in October that year. The 7th edition saw a lot of improved changes such as identity first language, inclusive writing, accepted usage of pronouns etc.
