Dear Colleagues,

If you are submitting articles to journals that require the APA Style,
you might be interested in a web interface that we have developed, the
APA Style Converter. A description of the Converter is attached below.

You can access the Converter from our web server at:

http://cogsci.richmond.edu/

We welcome your feedback, comments, and suggestions.

Sincerely,

Ping Li

Abstract: The APA Style Converter is a web-based tool for authors to
prepare their papers in APA Style according to the APA Publication
Manual (5th ed.). The converter provides a user-friendly interface
that allows authors to copy and paste text and upload figures through
the web, and it automatically turns all texts, references, and figures
to a structured article in APA Style. The output is saved in PDF
format, ready for either electronic submission or hardcopy printing.

Rationale: While the APA Style has widespread use in the scientific
community, there are several factors that hinder authors from accurate
use of the style. First, many authors find it difficult to keep track
of all the details specified in the Manual. For example, when asked,
few researchers are certain about, (a) whether the Footnotes section
should come before or after the Author Note, (b) whether the
Appendices should come before or after the Tables, or (c) what a Page
Header is, how it is different from a Running Head, and how these heads
and headers should be laid out on the Title Page. Second, some authors
who are familiar with earlier versions of the APA Style might not have
kept up with the newest changes in the current version such as the
abolition of underlines and the citation for internet
resources. Third, researchers from countries other than North America
and Europe are relatively unfamiliar with the APA Style, either
because it is not part of their training or because writing
conventions and publication guidelines for their native languages
differ from the APA Style. Yet more and more researchers find it
necessary to deal with the APA Style: the style is widely used in many
disciplines, and the journals to which they submit papers require
it. Researchers from other countries are also under increasing
pressure to publish in international journals that may require the APA
Style.

	I've put on the web my 'famous' bibliography of lexical morphology:
7600 and more entries, searchable. You can look at it at
