List of APA Standards and Relevant Material
The following list of APA standards was started by Mark Fields, Tony Perryman, John Norris & Doc Patterson (Bill’s dad) but many others have helped us complete the list. Several reference materials were used as well as simply going through Standards in our individual collections.
