There are always some 2nd year students who complain about having to use a specific citation style in a task. This makes me think that they probably haven't been taught why citation styles exist. Yet another task that lands on my desk.

(My students have been told to use APA7 since year 1. I, a historian, have my issues with APA7 but allow them to use it with some specifications - ALWAYS cite page numbers, or at least subchapter headings, if the cited ebook lacks pagination. This is for some reason a big hurdle to some of them. They are writing 2-page reports referencing a maximum of three publications.)

I'm happy that for a change the most stupidest shit I've read this week isn't simultaneously also something dystopian but only some dude asking how to quote a dream/hallucination according to APA 7th for their research paper 🤣

🧠📚 Been deep in the weeds refining my APA 7 student paper template—fully accessible, screen reader-friendly, and powered by LaTeX + Makefile automation. It’s designed for blind students, accessibility advocates, and anyone who wants a clean, reproducible academic workflow. Note that it doesn't use the apa7 class since that wouldn't allow the PDF to be tagged for accessibility.

✅ Includes:

• Automated PDF builds with BibLaTeX
• Submission and status reporting targets
• Sample references. Bib
• Screen reader-friendly README

Built and tested across Raspberry Pi, Fedora Remix, and openSUSE with WSL integration. If you’re navigating academic publishing with accessibility in mind, I made this for you.

APA 7-fråga:

Borde det inte finnas en formatmall i Open office som gör att jag inte måste gå in och kolla allt som
- radavstånd
- typsnitt
- sidnumrering (längst upp till höger, svårt att få till i OO)
- bildtextformat
...osv

Någon som vet? Ska in med en miljard uppgifter känns det som.

Kennt sich hier wer mit der apa7 Richtlinie aus, was Tabellen im und den Anhang angeht. Ich habe irgendwie das Gefühl, dass ich inkonsistente Angaben im Internet finde🤔
Is anyone here familiar with the apa7 guideline regarding tables in, and the appendix? I somehow have the feeling that I'm finding inconsistent information on the internet🤔

I was recently asked about the "best" system for citing references on social media. Many citation types assume that end notes or a reference list section exist. While it has flaws, I think #APA7 using narrative citations (American Psychological Association, 2020) or "extended" inline citations including material often found in the reference section make sensible options.

However, unless you're writing an academic paper, who cares? Just make it readable and consistent within a given post!
