Upgrade StorageAPA books in a series
When I use the APA style and there is a book in a series, the punctuation seems wrong. For example:
Vygotsky, L. S. (1962). Thought and language. (E. Hanfmann & Vakar, Trans.)Studies in communication. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
Note the lack of as space before the "Studies in communication".
Is that actually correct?
Vygotsky, L. S. (1962). Thought and language. (E. Hanfmann & Vakar, Trans.)Studies in communication. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
Note the lack of as space before the "Studies in communication".
Is that actually correct?
I'm still trying to figure out what is correct here, though.
If anyone has an APA 6th at hand I'd be thankful for input, web-based guides either don't have this or are all over the place.
Simons, R. C. (1996). Boo!: Culture, experience and the
startle reflex. Series in affective science. New York:
Oxford University Press.
Still haven't been able to track this down for 6th ed. sigh.
"Enclose additional information given on the publication for its identification and retrieval (e.g., edition, report number, volume number) in parentheses immediately after the title. Do not use a period between the title and the parenthetical information; do not italicize the parenthetical information.
Development of entry-level tests to select FBI special agents (Publication No. FR-PRD-94-06).
If a volume is part of a larger, separately titled series or collection, treat the series and volume titles as a two-part title (see Chapter 7, Example 24)" (pp. 185-186).
Example 24 (p. 204) is actually an electronic version of just part of a volume in a series:
Strong, E. K., Jr., & Uhrbrock, R. S. (1923). Bibliography on job analysis. In L. Outhwaite (Series Ed.), Personnel Research Series: Vol. 1. Job analysis and the curriculum (pp. 140-146). doi:10.1037/10762-000
I'm happy to change this back if someone has any info to the contrary.
