Label
and number all technical reports with APA-TR-200N-MMNN
series report numbers, and standardise header formatting. Background:
in the five
years since the APA website was launched, no less than seventy
six technical reports have been published on the site. As these are
distinct in style and content in comparison with APA Analyses scholarly papers, APA NOTAM articles, and archived
industry journal articles, it was necessary to clearly differentiate
these publications. Reflecting feedback from visitors, APA recently
decided to formally designate all technical report format publications
as APA Technical Reports.
