For many years, APA Style experts
(APA Journals copyeditors) helped
people with APA Style questions by phone. Later, we
added [email protected] —where we now answer 200–300 questions each
month.
We launched the APA Style Blog with the release of the 6th edition of the
Publication Manual in 2009. In that
time, we have had more than 1.3
million visitors.
We launched Twitter and Facebook
accounts in 2010 (and Google+ in
2012).
• We field about 100 questions each month on the blog and these social media platforms.
• We follow academic libraries and writing centers. If we are not following yours, let us know!
