Dear Jim and Tipsters,
Perception & Psychophysics returned a paper to me unread because it did not
follow APA format.
Sincerely,
Stuart

Subject: Re: [tips] Running head
Hi
Has anyone ever had a manuscript rejected because of an APA style error? I
haven't despite numerous violations. I wonder if we spend too much time on
"niceties" of apa style given APA itself can't seem to get it correct,
adherence does not really matter except for classwork, and clear communication
is more important than "style" issues (I do appreciate the aspects of the APA
manual that address writing clearly).
Take care
Jim

One of my coworkers contacted the APA gurus about the Running head. The
sample paper is incorrect (why is this a theme?) - the running head is to
be on each page to the left - the words "Running head" are not to be included.
