Böcker av Dona Jean Young

This book walks writers through the basics and gives quick tips for APA style, formatting, and citation as well as gender-neutral pronouns and unbiased language. Author Dona J. Young incorporates a reader-friendly approach: students readily connect with the conversational tone and clear examples that ease them into learning APA 7 style and bringing their writing to a higher level. As well as highlighting changes adopted in the 7th edition of APA (2020), this resource also covers essentials of academic, evidence-based writing: as pre-work for writing a literature review, it guides learners through the process of composing an effective thesis, introductory paragraph, annotated bibliography, and abstract. In addition, writers build editing skills by reviewing comma and semicolon usage, pronoun viewpoint, active voice, and capitalization (sentence and title case). Numerous examples of APA use are set off from the narrative to give readers quick access to them. Additional features include sample papers in APA style and a glossary of terms. Each chapter contains a short interactive activity to improve writing process, style, and skills. Designed to get readers on a path to using APA that brings them success, this supplementary text could be used in any course in education, psychology, health care sciences (nursing), and social sciences at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
