+Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this software under

+1.3c (http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt). The current
+maintainer is Philip Kime (© 2018).
+
+This package is a biblatex style for APA (American Psychological
+Association) 6th Edition style compliant documents typeset in LaTeX. It
+implements a citation style (apa6.cbx) and a references section style
+(apa6.bbx). The styles are loaded just like any other biblatex
+styles but I wouldn't try to use the citation and references styles
+separately as they rely on each other, macro-wise, in places.
+
+In this document and in the code, the specific APA requirements are
+referred to by the section and (if appropriate) the example number of the
+APA Style Guide 6th Edition).
+
+You will need to be using csquotes >= 4.3 and biblatex >= 3.4 The biber
+backend for biblatex >= 2.5 is also required. This style will not work
+correctly if using bibtex as the backend for biblatex. If you want to take
+advantage of the biblatex \DeclareQuotePunctuation facility to enforce the
+APA required "American punctuation", you should use the babel package with
+the "american" option (see biblatex manual section |3.9.1|). You can of
+course use other languages but in such cases, to adhere to APA "American"
+punctuation rules (following commas moved inside closing quotes etc.), then
+you should set up \DeclareQuotePunctuation yourself as per section 4.7.5 of
+the biblatex manual.
+
+You can also use this with apa.cls version 1.3.4 or greater by using the
+"noapacite" class option to that class package (which prevents it from
+trying to use plain bibtex with the apacite package).
+
+Please refer first to biblatex-apa6.pdf for the main documentation.
