 If you purchased an early printing of the 6th Edition,
you likely have errors. A way to test that is to find the
page that refers to the running head. If your copy
states that you should place “Running head” on all
pages, that is the incorrect printing.
 If your copy is incorrect, you should write APA and
ask for the supplementary pages so that you have the
correct rules.
 Check on the 4th page inside the front cover
