摘要

在社會行為科學的領域裡，專業文章的寫作格式常以APA為圭臬。為了確保寫作格式的一致性，美國心理協會發行的APA出版手冊對專業文章的寫作提供了一套詳細而清楚的規則和指引，包括標點符號，縮寫方式，表格，標題，參考文獻和統計結果的呈現等等，以協助釐清常常令作者混淆之寫作方式。為了減少寫作方式的不同，作者在寫作文稿時，必須遵守規定的格式。新版的APA格式和第四版的內容有很多的改變。本文提供讀者相關資訊以減少在撰寫文章時的不一致。但限於版面的限制，本文僅呈現部份的改變，讀者可自行參考APA第五版的手冊以獲取詳細內容。

APA style is referring to the editorial style that has been adopted to present written material in the social and behavioral sciences. APA's style rules and guidelines are set out in a reference book ”The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association” to ensure clear and consistent presentation of written material such as punctuations, abbreviations, construction of tables, selection of headings, citation of references, presentation of statistics and so on. The APA's Publication Manual provides complete style guidelines to help clarity frequent areas of confusion. To reduce written variations in style, an author's writing for a publication must follow the rules. Numerous changes have been made between the 4(superscript th) and the new 5(superscript th) edition of APA's Publication Manual. This article attempts to offer useful information to help readers avoid inconsistencies among academic works. Due to space limitations, certain changes can only be summarized. Readers may preferrably refer to the new 5(superscript th) edition for specific information.
