The APA Style CENTRAL service provides a wide range of services and resources for undergraduate and graduate students.\u00a0 It is not surprising that undergraduates often struggle with the APA style.\u00a0 APA Style CENTRAL offers learning tools that facilitate usage of the APA citation and formatting style.\u00a0 APA Style CENTRAL will empower students to use the APA style with greater precision and accuracy, enhancing the overall quality of research papers.\u00a0 Moreover, the APA Style CENTRAL Learning Center includes tutorials covering a wide range of research related topics that will specifically serve the undergraduate community \u2014 including getting started with APA style, avoiding plagiarism, finding reliable resources, development of a research question or hypothesis and much more.\u00a0<\/strong> APA Style CENTRAL even includes a Writing Center that provides a references manager, style templates, nearly 150 sample APA references and sample papers to facilitate the writing process.<\/p>\n

APA Style Central also offers many resources targeted more specifically to graduate students and faculty.\u00a0 \u00a0The Learning Center of APA Style Central provides many advanced tutorials appropriate for upper level undergraduates and graduate students \u2014 including topics such as data analysis, confounding variables and publishing a journal article.\u00a0 Both faculty and graduate teaching assistants can benefit from embedding the APA Style CENTRAL content, including quizzes, into their Blackboard courses.\u00a0 This may be particularly useful for flipped classrooms.\u00a0 Additionally, faculty and graduate students will find the \u201cPublishing Center\u201d very helpful in the discovery of journals that could be a good fit for the content of their research.<\/p>\n

The trial for APA Style CENTRAL<\/a> is available for both on and off campus access. \u00a0Off-campus access is available via VPN or through the UC Libraries\u2019 proxy address (built into the APA Style CENTRAL link). \u00a0Give it a try and let us know what you think about the new service at http:\/\/uc.libsurveys.com\/APA-Style-CENTRAL<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
