I just spent 2 hours I did NOT have for this project in making the corrections from the 7 pages' worth of errata that APA has posted.
I think there are still some errors and maybe someone here can explain these to me before I fire off an another angry email to APA. The erratum says: Chapter 2 page 25 - Indent the first paragraph of the example under the heading "Fourth paragraph: person to contact (mailing address, e-mail)". But don't they really want us just to the indent the first line of that example, and not the whole thing? ------------------------- The erratum says: Page 47 - Figure 2.1, p. 12 of sample paper, second paragraph, line 9, chnge the hyphen "-1.90" to a minus sign and cluse up space next to the numeral :1: (<1.90). BUT, this is part of a statistical report that reads, "ts(23)<-1.90..." The t was in italics but not the s. What the heck does ts stand for? It's not listed in the abberviations anywhere in the manual and I've never heard of it. I thought they might want student's t statistic to now be recorded that way, but no, on the abbreviations page it says to abbreviate student's t as just the letter t. So what is ts all about? I cannot make italics in this email system, so just a reminder that the t always appears as an italic, but the s does not. ----------------------------------- The erratum says: p. 58 - Figure 2.3, p. 4 of sample paper, boldface heading Summary and variability of the overall effect. These words are in italics, which I cannot type in this email program. But shouldn't the italics be removed and regular font used? Is this not a continuation at the same level of subheadings as the previous ones? ---------------------------------------- The erratum says: p. 59 - Figure 2.3, p. 6 of sample paper, in the Albarracin reference, delete "San Diego, CA: Academic Press"; move ...[references continue]" to next line. But does the doi reference then remain? It seems like it should go to right where the "San Diego, CA: Academic Press" was removed from. That's not at all clear. ----------------------------------- The erratum says: Page 209 - Section 7.07, in the motion picture template example, capitalize "origin." But shouldn't it just be the "O" in "origin" that needs to be capitalized and not the whole word? -------------------------------------- The erratum says: Page 234 - Figure 8.2...lots of changes They missed on, in Section 8.14, Subsection (b) line 13, delete the hyphen in "agreement." --------------------------------------- Ok, those are my potential corrections to their corrections. Anyone able to explain or confirm my questions?
