\section{Important Changes}\label{special}

\textbf{This is a legacy style for a previous edition of the APA guidelines. 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{<language>-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{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.

\section{Use}\label{ref:use}
\label{use}
This package is available via \TeX Live as |biblatex-apa|. 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{<texmf>/tex/latex/biblatex/cbx/apa6.cbx}\\
\path{<texmf>/tex/latex/biblatex/bbx/apa6.bbx}\\
\path{<texmf>/tex/latex/biblatex/lbx/<language>-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=<num>
\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}<punctuation>
\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}.
