APA Style & Referencing: The 30+ most common mistakes

The APA Style and Referencing guide highlights the 30 or so most common writing mistakes made by students and professionals in the field of psychology and the social sciences. By simply becoming aware of and eradicating these errors, writers can quickly and dramatically increase the quality of their work.

The concise guide touches on when and how to use et al., how to cite direct quotes, how to order citations and references, how to present statistical values, how to format tables and figures, capitalisation, economy of expression, tense, and many issues that the reader is likely unaware of.

The guide is written by David Robinson (BSc, MSc, PhD), who has consulted hundreds of individuals on academic writing over the last 6 years.

David is truly amazing. His feedback is invaluable. I fully trust in his ability to improve my essays and cannot recommend him highly enough.
