TRIAL! Academic Writer by APA

We are pleased to announce that we have opened trial access to Academic Writer™. Academic Writer, provided by the American Psychological Association, is a complete online environment for teaching and learning scholarly writing.

Designed to help users develop optimal writing skills, Academic Writer combines pedagogical and self-directed learning tools with advanced writing and content management technology. It also includes expert tutorials, hundreds of samples, forms for various reference types, research planning and tracking tools, direct access to the text of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association®, and much more.

Academic Writer features three independent, but integrated centers for teaching and learning optimal research and writing skills:

• The Learning Center equips students and instructors with a digital media library packed with hundreds of authoritative learning objects (including instructional videos, self-quizzes, samples, and more) for optimal comprehension and assessment.
• The Reference Center houses more than eighty (80) forms for proper reference formatting, and allows you to create or massively import references.
• The Writing Center provides a structured and collaborative writing environment that features step-by-step guidance for all types of scholarly writing. Preformatted templates, context-sensitive help, and specially developed toolbars help guide you to proper formatting regardless of paper type.

Whether you are new to academic writing or more experienced with writing and research, Academic Writer has something to offer you. Please take a moment to explore it today at: https://library.acg.edu/go/academic-writer. The resource is accessible from both on-and off-campus, and the trial will be open until May 16, 2025.
