APA Manual Replacement


As some of you may know, the first printing of the recently released 6th edition of the Publication Manual for the American Psychological Association has substantial errors. Although corrections to the first printing are available on the Web, the association is offering to replace the first printing with a copy of the second corrected printing.

According to a Chronicle of Higher Education Oct. 27th article, you can contact the APA service center between Nov. 2nd and December 15th, 2009 to submit a request for a replacement for your first printing copy.

Wondering which printing you have? You can look on the back of the title page at the bottom to see what printing you have.
