How does the Concise Rules differ from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association? The Publication Manual remains the best source for broad background information about scientific publishing. It provides guidance on designing research, identifying the parts of a scholarly article, understanding the process of journal publication, and submitting articles for publication. The Concise Rules, by comparison, targets only those rules writers need for choosing the best words and format for their articles. It offers a comprehensive list of essential writing standards in a convenient, easily retrievable format.

In addition to guidance on grammar points that have challenged writers in the social sciences, the Concise Rules provides suggestions for reducing bias in language; reviews the mechanics of style for punctuation, spelling, capitalization, abbreviation, italicization, headings, and quotations; examines the preferred use of numbers as well as standards for metrication and statistics; provides guidance for the construction and formatting of tables, figures, and appendixes; and offers clear examples and models for referencing ideas and constructing error-free reference lists.

Available in a light-weight, spiral-bound format, the Concise Rules will travel easily from home to school to office.

Better to buy the APA Publication Manual - I found this completely useless for writing papers and had to buy the APA Publication Manual. This is coming from a new graduate student who was trying to learn to write APA style. If that is your purpose for buying this manual, stick with the blue APA Publication Manual. I could find no use for this condensed version and it never had information that was relevant to writing my papers correctly.

I did think the size and spiral binding was kind of handy, if only the information inside was useful.

Concise Rules of APA Style - This is a handy little pocket guide for those who are looking to format a paper according to the APA. The entire book is clearly marked as to category and function. It also includes great tips on grammar and sentence structure. If, however, the intended reader is looking toward publishing a paper or needs formal APA format advice, this guide does not include enough detailed information. Great guide for undergrad students who are needing a little bit more information than a regular writing guide offers.

Exactly what was needed for the college class ... - This book arrived as stated and packed even better than most other books ordered online. Exactly what was needed for the college class, and cost so much less that the bookstore. Very satisfied with my order.
