APA Style CENTRAL: New Year, New Name

Posted on January 7, 2019January 4, 2019 by Marta Soto in For Librarians

APA Style CENTRAL®, the digital platform for teaching and learning effective writing in APA Style, is now known as Academic Writer™!

You may notice this new name and logo when you visit the site.

Don’t worry, there have been no changes to the accounts or papers created within the platform. Your login is the same, and all the references you’ve added and papers you’ve started are still there.

You’ll also notice a few product changes. Academic Writer will have three centers to teach and learn effective writing—the Learning Center, the Reference Center (formerly known as the Research Center), and the Writing Center.

The Publishing Center, dictionaries, and electronic reference books covering quantitative and qualitative research methods have been removed.

Browse our Training & Support pages for assistance with using and accessing Academic Writer.

Additional help for librarians, including technical information and marketing materials, can be found on our Librarian Resources page.

And, as always, you can contact APA’s Customer Engagement team for help.

APA Style CENTRAL Expert Tip: Exporting an APA Style Paper Reference List

Posted on July 23, 2018January 4, 2019 by Patti Avellanet in For Faculty, For Librarians, For Students

Do you need to create an APA Style® reference list for sharing with your journal club, collaborating with a colleague, or preparing a course assignment? APA Style CENTRAL® can help with that!

How to export a paper’s reference list formatted in APA Style as a Microsoft Word file:

1. At the top of the screen, expand the My File Cabinet menu and select My Papers to view your list of saved papers. Open the file containing the reference list you want to export.

2. In the left navigation menu of the paper editing screen, use the arrow to expand the EXPORT menu and select Download.

3. Under the Download Paper heading, select Word (*.docx, selected by default) or PDF as the file type.

4. Use the Download Paper button to export the file.

5. The exported file will be saved in your browser’s default Downloads folder (or the location specified when saving the file).

Tip: To obtain a reference list for an annotated bibliography, begin a new paper by entering a title and then use the Add References button to immediately begin creating your reference list (see screenshot below). When you’ve finished adding references, use the steps above to export the paper as a Word file and continue working in Word to insert your annotation for each reference.
