The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition (ISBN 9781433805615) has been updated and revised to include topics such as new ethics guidance, how to ensure accuracy, protecting intellectual property rights of the research participants, new journal reporting standards, simplified APA styles for electronic publication, and new procedures in reporting inferential statistics.

The American Psychological Association Staff has reorganized the previous edition to make it more relevant to the digital age; it now starts with practical background information regarding publishing ethics, then progresses to manuscript structure, writing rules and style, graphics, references, and a discussion of the real-world publication process. More importantly, the 272-page sixth edition has been infused with better web interactivity.
