4. APA Overview How Authors Use the Manual Most start with the index Many bookmark frequently-used pages, and some use complex tab systems I use paperclips and sticky notes Many refer to the MS examples on pp. 306 to 320 Some are tempted to follow the style of the manual itself. THIS IS A BAD IDEA. The manual doesn’t always follow its own style.
