Who would have believed it? Controversy, speculation, and intrigue, all associated with the publication of a rather staid and proper publication manual. In case you missed it, all of this and more occurred in the context of the release of the sixth edition of the venerable American Psychological Association (APA) publication manual. What made this release so noteworthy, albeit not for good reasons, was that the first printing of the manual was rife with errors (including style rules, examples of the rules, sample papers, and numerous typos), and the slow (and some would say shortsighted) response of the publisher did nothing to improve the situation. In a nutshell, almost immediately after its release, APA learnt of myriad errors in the manual - not a good thing at all for a guide to sc...

Some suggestions seem out-of-date or counterproductive. The authors mention creating hand drawn figures using rub-on or press-on letters, or having figures drawn professionally. This seems unrealistic and unnecessary, given that (as stated above) user-friendly graphing programs are readily available. The authors give good advice about preparing the text of a poster and layout of an oral presentation; however, they could be more forward thinking in their mention of presentation formats. To suggest preparing a poster by gluing printed pages on coloured cardboard or an oral presentation using slides or overheads seems extremely out-of-date for a book published in 2006. The authors even state "some [conferences] are beginning to make PowerPoint or AutoPilot presentation equipment available....
