45-day long trial to APA’s reference tool

Academic Writer is the APA’s institution-wide platform that equips students with self-paced learning modules, reference building tools, and a guided writing center.

The Learning Center offers a library of hundreds of learning objects (including quick guides, tutorials, knowledge checks, and samples) for scaffolded support that can be used for independent learning or in course curriculum. See a demo.

The Reference Center provides expertly created templates for proper APA Style formatting of citations, regularly updated forms for emerging reference types, and options to build, store, and tag a collection of references. See a demo.

The Writing Center provides a structured and collaborative writing environment that features templated support for scholarly writing. See a demo.

The tool is developed by the authors of APA Style. The Academic Writer aligns with the latest edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.), ensuring that every student and instructor always has access to a scholarly writing resource with unmatched comprehensiveness and accuracy.
