# APA Style, 7th Edition

## Workflow

1. Confirm which APA variant applies: the 7th-edition manual, a journal's house rules, or a university thesis guide. Local rules win.
2. Set up the page format and title page for a student or professional paper.
3. Apply heading levels and convert in-text citations to author-date form.
4. Rebuild the reference list from a reference manager with the APA 7 style. Never type references from memory, and verify DOIs.
5. Check tables, figures and bias-free language, then proofread against the checklist below.

The authoritative sources are the *Publication Manual of the APA* (7th ed.) and
https://apastyle.apa.org. When a journal or university has its own APA variant,
the local guide wins. Ask which applies.
