APA 7th edition compliance is one of Formatly's core competencies. Struggling to verify every comma and margin against the manual? Keeping up with the latest APA guidelines is a tedious and frustrating struggle. Our rule-based engine implements every rule from the APA Publication Manual.

Our Compliance Process

Rule Extraction

Our team of formatting experts manually extracts every rule from the APA Publication Manual. No rules are approximated or guessed — every requirement is documented and implemented.

Rule Implementation

Each rule is implemented as a separate, testable component in Formatly's formatting engine. This modular approach ensures complete coverage, easy updates, and consistent, deterministic results.

Testing Against the Manual

Every rule implementation is tested against the actual APA Publication Manual examples. Our test suite includes hundreds of test cases covering all document types, source types, and formatting scenarios.
