Additional Resources
It's always best to consult the Publication Manual first for any
APA question. If you are using APA style for a class assignment, it's
a good idea to consult your professor, advisor, TA, or other campus resources
for help with using APA style -- they're the ones who can tell you how
the style should apply in your particular case. For extraordinary questions
that aren't covered clearly in the style manual or haven't been answered
by your teacher or advisor, contact the Writing Lab for help at (765)
494-3723 or email by using this form.
Here are some other resources for using APA style and writing research
papers that might also help answer your questions.
