The latest version is always on CTAN with the name |biblatex-apa|}.\\[2ex] Please see the revision history below (section \ref{rev}) for details on changes in each version. This section is just for important things like incompatible changes which users should be aware of. \minisec{7.8} |ARTICLE| entries now correctly do not print month/day in the bibliography as per APA 6.28. For non-academic articles (APA 7.01, examples 7, 8 and 9), use the new: \begin{verbatim} ENTRYSUBTYPE = {nonacademic} \end{verbatim} This will allow month/day data in the bibliography. In the future, there may be other differences for |ARTICLE| subtypes and it is better to keep these semantically distinct from standard academic journal articles. \minisec{7.5} This version requires |biblatex| $>=$3.8 and |biber| $>=$2.8. \minisec{7.1} This version requires |biblatex| $>=$3.6 and |biber| $>=$2.6. \minisec{7.0} This version requires |biblatex| $>=$3.5 and |biber| $>=$2.6. Uncertain, approximate and era-marked dates are now supported in the |biblatex| core and therefore special fields are no longer needed in the style. See example files, in particular \texttt{7.10:67} entry in the references test \file{.bib} and the \texttt{plato} entry in the citation test \file{.bib}. \minisec{7.0} This version requires |biblatex| $>=$3.5 and |biber| $>=$2.6. \minisec{6.9} This version requires |biblatex| $>=$3.4 and |biber| $>=$2.5. \minisec{6.8} This version requires |biblatex| $>=$3.3 and |biber| $>=$2.4. \minisec{5.0} The style now uses the customisable data model functionality of |biblatex| 2.0 and |biber| 1.0 and so these are now required. Several cases which previously were forced to use custom fields like |USERA|, |USERB| etc. can now be more naturally implemented with semantically appropriate fields. See \file{biblatex-apa-references.bib} for examples. This particularly aids the use of |VIDEO| entries, for example which now support fields |DIRECTOR|, |PRODUCER|, |WRITER| and |EXECPRODUCER|. Entries which relate to other entries like reviews and reprints are now implemented more naturally using the |biblatex| 2 «related entries» functionality. See entries with the |RELATED| field in \file{biblatex-apa-references.bib} and the |biblatex| manual for details and examples. Entries where authors are listed as «with» are now supported using the name field |WITH|. See examples file. \minisec{4.5} |biber| is now \emph{required}. This is because APA style needs a custom sorting scheme and only |biber| supports this. |bibtex| support is going away in |biblatex| eventually anyway so it's best to switch. \minisec{4.4} The |\maxprtauth| command is now a package option called «apamaxprtauth», see section \ref{opts}. \minisec{4.3} Specifying entries as «in press» should now be done using the official |biblatex| mechanism for this. Instead of, for example: \begin{verbatim} YEAR = {in press} \end{verbatim} \noindent you should use: \begin{verbatim} PUBSTATE = {inpress} \end{verbatim} \noindent as «|inpress|» is a |biblatex| localisation string which will render correctly in supported languages. If you still use the older method, it will still work but the string will always appear as the English «in press». \section{Introduction}\label{int} \subsection{About} This package is a Bib\LaTeX\ style for APA (American Psychological Association) 6th Edition style compliant documents typeset in \latex. It implements a citation style (\file{apa.cbx}), a references section style (\file{apa.bbx}), some data model enhancements (\file{apa.dbx}) and string localisation files (\path{-apa.lbx}). Currently there are only string localisations for a few languages---if you can help with any other languages, please mail me; the localisation |.lbx| files are very small and simple and it would be a small translation task for the few APA-specific strings needed. The styles are loaded just like any other Bib\LaTeX\ 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). \subsection{Requirements}\label{ref:req} You will need to be using \sty{csquotes} ($\geq$ 4.3), Bib\LaTeX\ ($\geq$ 3.4) and Biber ($\geq$ 2.5). If you want to take advantage of the Bib\LaTeX\ |\DeclareQuotePunctuation| facility to enforce the APA required «American» punctuation, you should normally use the \sty{babel} package with the «american» option (see Bib\LaTeX\ 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 Bib\LaTeX\ manual. If you are using the |apa.cls| \latex class, you need be using version $\geq$ 1.3.4. The class should be invoked with the |noapacite| class option as per the |apa.cls| documentation. Without this class option, the |apa.cls| class will automatically try to use plain Bib\TeX\ with the |apacite| style which is completely incompatible with Bib\LaTeX. \subsection{License} Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this software under the terms of the \latex Project Public License, version 1.3c\footnote{\url{http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt}}. The current maintainer is Philip Kime (\textcopyright\ 2015). \subsection{History} When I started using Bib\LaTeX, I assumed there would be an APA style when I went looking. I was wrong. I started to try to make one and realised why there was none. The APA style manual is enormous; the citation and references specifications run to about 60 pages and are very specific in terms of formatting. They are also not entirely consistent but then again, it is rare to have such a thorough specification to work from. Inconsistencies in the manual and workarounds are noted in the examples document. \subsection{Acknowledgments} Thanks to Philipp Lehman for Bib\LaTeX\ which really has been a major advance over pure Bib\TeX.

You can find it through the provided \TeX Live update utilities which will install it automatically for you. If you need to install manually (to use a new version which has not yet been published to the \TeX Live updaters, for example), you can download it from CTAN and then, put the \path{.cbx}, \path{.bbx} and \path{.lbx} files in your texmf tree, usually:\\ \noindent\path{/tex/latex/biblatex/cbx/apa6.cbx}\\ \path{/tex/latex/biblatex/bbx/apa6.bbx}\\ \path{/tex/latex/biblatex/lbx/-apa6.lbx}\\ \noindent Specify the style in the usual way when loading Bib\LaTeX. If you are using \sty{babel}: \begin{ltxcode} \usepackage[american]{babel} \usepackage{csquotes} \usepackage[style=apa6]{biblatex} \end{ltxcode} or \sty{polyglossia}: \begin{ltxcode} \usepackage{polyglossia} \setdefaultlanguage[variant=american]{english} \usepackage{csquotes} \usepackage[style=apa6]{biblatex} \end{ltxcode} \noindent Note that the APA manual requires the forcing of titles into «sentence case», that is, initial cap followed by lower case for sentence units, with the exception of names and material from languages which do not follow English capitalisation. As of version 0.8a, Bib\LaTeX\ has a |\MakeSentenceCase| macro which deals with this. So, in the traditional Bib\TeX\ way, capitalise correctly in the |.bib| file, protecting names etc. with the usual brace pairs and the style will take care of forcing the APA-style sentence case in the References section. Unlike the References section, titles in citations in the APA style appear in normal case and the style will ensure this too. \subsection{Package options}\label{opts} The following options are set as usual in the options passed to |biblatex|. \begin{ltxcode} apamaxprtauth= \end{ltxcode} \noindent This option controls the number of author/editor names which are printed in the References. APA style defaults to 7. You can change this if you really want to fully print all author list references in certain contexts (for example in a CV where you are an author in position 8 \ldots) Setting Bib\LaTeX package options which change name processing like \opt{uniquename} and \opt{uniquelist} is not supported as this style does tricky things internally to match the peculiar APA standard. You should not need to change them anyway as then you wouldn't be using APA style anyway. \subsection{Localisation} Localisation is provided for APA-specific strings in the accompanying |.lbx| files which are loaded automatically. Normal use will invoke \sty{babel} with the «american» language or \sty{polyglossia} with «american» variant of «english». The \file{english-apa.lbx} is a copy of the \file{american-apa6.lbx} since the default is «American» English. The APA manual does not mention nor sanction any non «American» English strings but it is quite common for non-English journals to ask for APA style bibliographies and so this must be supported. If not using the \sty{babel} «american» option, it may be necessary to set up the |\DeclareQuotePunctuation| option as mentioned in section \ref{ref:req} above. You would only need to do this if, for some strange reason, a non-american journal required the (unpleasant) american practice of moving final punctuation marks inside closing quotes. \subsubsection{Date formats} Obviously, an American style uses month/day/year formats. European formats are usually day/month/year. The APA style dictates long date formats and so this is not really apparent in the bibliography. There is an APA standard for long date formats which may not be correct for European journals using roughly APA formatting standards (German journals tend to have a different long date format, for example). The «american» babel option will give you APA compliant US date formats. Default sensible date formats are included for german, ngerman and french. You should redefine the |\mkbibdatelong| macro in the relevant language |*-apa6.lbx| file to change this if needed. A customisable macro \cmd{urldatecomma} determines what comes between the date of a URL and the URL itself. This defaults to the standard comma and space as per APA style but just a space in germanic localisations. \subsection{Limitations} \label{use:limit} There are certain limitations you need to bear in mind when using these styles. The APA manual is written without much regard for automation of citation and references processing---it just tells you how it wants things to look and the implicit assumption is that you would type out everything by hand if necessary. Having said that, the majority of the APA citation and references style is implemented, there are just a few exceptions which are hardly worth the coding pain since they are ambiguous and easily worked around. \section{Details} The detailed information for this style is contained in the example document and accompanying \path{.bib} files: \begin{description} \item[\path{biblatex-apa6.tex}] This document. \item[\path{biblatex-apa6-test.tex}]\footnote{\path{biblatex-apa6-test.pdf} is also provided and is the typeset version of this \latex source file.} This document typesets just about every useful example from \apa{6.11}--\apa{6.21} and \apa{7.01}--\apa{7.11}. The examples in it aim to look as much like the APA manual examples as possible. All citation examples in the document are real examples using a \path{.bib} file. \item[\path{biblatex-apa6-test-citations.bib}] This contains the \path{.bib} entries for the citations examples. You won't find anything of interest in this file---it's just used to provide real data for the citation examples. \item[\path{biblatex-apa6-test-references.bib}] This contains the \path{.bib} entries for all of the examples in \apa{7.x}. This file is the main documentation for the |biblatex-apa| implementation of the APA References section style. To see how the style deals with a particular example from \apa{7.x}, look it up in here. Every example is marked with the APA example number and has explanatory notes. \item[\path{apa6.cbx}] The |biblatex-apa| citations style. It is decently structured with comments but shouldn't need to be read for normal use. \item[\path{apa6.bbx}] The |biblatex-apa| references style. It is decently structured with comments but shouldn't need to be read for normal use. \item[\path{apa6.dbx}] The |biblatex-apa| data model additions. This allows users to utilise more natural entry type and field names for certain entries. See comments in the \path{biblatex-apa6-test-references.bib}. \item[\path{*-apa6.lbx}] The |biblatex-apa| localisation files. These files override some language-specific macros for some fixed strings. \end{description} \subsection{Citations} To specify something as «in press», use the |biblatex| |PUBSTATE| field with the special key value of «|inpress|» (see |biblatex| manual, section 4.9.2.11). See the notes on the |PUBSTATE| field in section \ref{refs} below. \apa{6.13} requires that there should be no parentheses around the year of the citation when the citation itself occurs within parenthesis. This is tricky to completely automate within the remit of a citation style since it requires knowledge of the current typesetting state. So, the new citation command \begin{ltxsyntax} \cmditem{nptextcite}[prenote][postnote]{key} \end{ltxsyntax} \noindent is provided for such situations. It is identical to |\textcite| but does not put parentheses around the year and separates items with commas. See examples using this command in \path{biblatex-apa6-test.tex}. There is also a multi-cite version |\nptextcites| that works in the same way as |\textcites|. The |\fullcite| command uses ampersands, like the references section and there is also a |\fullcitebib| command which is the same as |\fullcite| but which fakes a mini references section with APA style indentation and so is not intended to be used inline like |\fullcite|. See examples in the test file. \subsection{References}\label{refs} The references style was based on the Bib\LaTeX\ default |authoryear-comp| style but is heavily modified. If in doubt read the example references |.bib| as it is commented and you can learn a lot from the examples by picking something close to what you need from the APA examples and then looking in this file to see how it was implemented. Some general notes: \begin{itemize} \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt} \item The |PUBSTATE| field takes priority over any date field. If you specify something with a |PUBSTATE| field like «inpress», then the year label in citations and the references will be the localisation of the |PUBSTATE| value key (|PUBSTATE| takes a pre-defined set of localisation keys as values, see |biblatex| manual). \item APA style sometimes refers to the «series» of a multi-volume work. This corresponds to the |MAINTITLE| field in the \file{.bib} and \emph{not} the |SERIES| field. \item |VOLUME|, |NUMBER| and |CHAPTER| are forced into arabic numerals if they are given as roman numerals, as required by \apa{6.22}. \end{itemize} \subsubsection{Journal number for journals with per-issue pagination} As per APA 6th edition section 6.30 and 7.01, journals which paginate by issue need the volume number including in the reference section. Since there is no way to automatically determine when this is the case, use the |biber| sourcemap feature to implement this, removing the |NUMBER| field from journals known to implement continuous pagination across volumes. For example, with this in your preamble: \begin{lstlisting}[style=latex]{} \DeclareSourcemap{ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{ \map{ \step[fieldsource=journaltitle, match=\regexp{(?:journal\stitle\sone|journal\stitle\stwo)}] \step[fieldset=number, null] } } } \end{lstlisting} % Simply include |NUMBER| fields for all journals and entries with |JOURNALTITLE| of «journal title one» or «journal title two» (which are known to paginate across all numbers of a volume) will have their |NUMBER| field dynamically removed at document compile time, as required. \subsubsection{Retrieval dates for online items} APA 6th edition section 6.32 says «Do not include retrieval dates unless the source material may change over time (e.g., Wikis)». This is open to interpretation of what constitutes a Wiki and what counts as «changing over time». The style does not implement anything for this requirement by default but you can automate your own interpretation by putting this in your preamble: \begin{lstlisting}[style=latex]{} \DeclareSourcemap{ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{ \map{ \step[fieldsource=url, notmatch=\regexp{wiki}, final=1] \step[fieldset=urldate, null] } } } \end{lstlisting} \noindent This will dynamically remove the |URLDATE| field from any entry where the |URL| field doesn't match the regular expression «wiki». Modify this regular expression according to taste. This modification is dynamically applied to the data stream by |biber| and does not change your \file{.bib}. \section{Revision history}\label{rev} \begin{changelog} \begin{release}{8.4}{2020-05-03}
