擬 APA 報

以 Quarto（apaquarto）或 R Markdown（papaja）造 APA 7 式報。

用

• 書 APA 式學文
• 造心或社研報
• 生含析之可複稿
• 備論或章

入

• 必：析碼與果
• 必：書庫文（.bib）
• 可：共作與屬
• 可：稿類（期刊文、生文）

行

一：擇框

甲：apaquarto（Quarto，宜）

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("wjschne/apaquarto")

乙：papaja（R Markdown）

remotes::install_github("crsh/papaja")

得：所擇框包裝成並可 library(apaquarto) 或 library(papaja) 載。

敗：因缺系依（如 PDF 用之 LaTeX）→先裝 TinyTeX：quarto install tinytex。GitHub 裝敗→察 remotes 已裝且 GitHub 可達。

二：造文（apaquarto）

造 manuscript.qmd：

---
title: "Effects of Variable X on Outcome Y"
shorttitle: "Effects of X on Y"
author:
  - name: First Author
    corresponding: true
    orcid: 0000-0000-0000-0000
    email: author@university.edu
    affiliations:
      - name: University Name
        department: Department of Psychology
  - name: Second Author
    affiliations:
      - name: Other University
abstract: |
  This study examined the relationship between X and Y.
  Using a sample of N = 200 participants, we found...
  Results are discussed in terms of theoretical implications.
keywords: [keyword1, keyword2, keyword3]
bibliography: references.bib
format:
  apaquarto-docx: default
  apaquarto-pdf:
    documentmode: man
---

得：manuscript.qmd 存，YAML frontmatter 含題、短題、作者屬、摘、關詞、書庫引、APA 特格選。

敗：驗 YAML 縮進一致（2 空）；author: 條用 name:、affiliations:、corresponding: 之列式；bibliography: 指向存之 .bib 文。

三：書 APA 容

# Introduction

Previous research has established that... [@smith2023; @jones2022].
@smith2023 found significant effects of X on Y.

# Method

## Participants

We recruited `r nrow(data)` participants (*M*~age~ = `r mean(data$age)`,
*SD* = `r sd(data$age)`).

## Materials

The study used the Measurement Scale [@author2020].

## Procedure

Participants completed... (see @fig-design for the study design).

# Results

```{r}
#| label: fig-results
#| fig-cap: "Mean scores by condition with 95% confidence intervals."
#| fig-width: 6
#| fig-height: 4

ggplot(summary_data, aes(x = condition, y = mean, fill = condition)) +
  geom_col() +
  geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = ci_lower, ymax = ci_upper), width = 0.2) +
  theme_apa()
```

A two-way ANOVA revealed a significant main effect of condition,
*F*(`r anova_result$df1`, `r anova_result$df2`) = `r anova_result$F`,
*p* `r format_pvalue(anova_result$p)`, $\eta^2_p$ = `r anova_result$eta`.

# Discussion

The findings support the hypothesis that...

# References

得：容循 APA 節構（Introduction、Method、Results、Discussion、References）並有 inline R 為統與正 @fig-、@tbl- 交引。

敗：inline R 不渲→驗 backtick-r 語（`r expression`）。交引示為字→察所引塊標用正前綴且塊有對應 caption 選。

四：APA 式擬表

#| label: tbl-descriptives
#| tbl-cap: "Descriptive Statistics by Condition"

library(gt)

descriptive_table <- data |>
  group_by(condition) |>
  summarise(
    M = mean(score),
    SD = sd(score),
    n = n()
  )

gt(descriptive_table) |>
  fmt_number(columns = c(M, SD), decimals = 2) |>
  cols_label(
    condition = "Condition",
    M = "*M*",
    SD = "*SD*",
    n = "*n*"
  )

得：表以 APA 式渲：統符斜體欄首、正小數齊、表上述述。

敗：gt 表不以 APA 式渲→確 gt 已裝且 cols_label() 用 markdown 斜體（*M*、*SD*）。papaja 用者→用 apa_table() 代 gt()。

五：管引

造 references.bib：

@article{smith2023,
  author = {Smith, John A. and Jones, Mary B.},
  title = {Effects of intervention on outcomes},
  journal = {Journal of Psychology},
  year = {2023},
  volume = {45},
  pages = {123--145},
  doi = {10.1000/example}
}

APA 引式：

• 括：[@smith2023] -> (Smith & Jones, 2023)
• 敘：@smith2023 -> Smith and Jones (2023)
• 多：[@smith2023; @jones2022] -> (Jones, 2022; Smith & Jones, 2023)

得：references.bib 含有效 BibTeX 條，諸必欄（author、title、year、journal）齊，引鍵匹稿中所用。

敗：以在線驗器或 bibtool -d references.bib 驗 BibTeX 語法。確文中引鍵正匹 .bib 鍵（區大小）。

六：渲

# Word document (common for journal submission)
quarto render manuscript.qmd --to apaquarto-docx

# PDF (for preprint or review)
quarto render manuscript.qmd --to apaquarto-pdf

得：正擬 APA 文含題頁、running head、正擬參節。

敗：PDF 渲敗→驗 TinyTeX 已裝（quarto install tinytex）。DOCX 議→察 apaquarto Word 模可達。參不現→確文末有 # References 首。

驗

• 題頁擬正（題、作者、屬、作者注）
• 摘並含關詞
• 文中引匹參列
• 表與圖號正
• 統以 APA 擬（斜體、正符）
• 參為 APA 7 式
• 頁號與 running head 在（PDF）

忌

• inline R 擬：用 backtick-r 為 inline 統，勿硬碼
• 引鍵不匹：確文中 .bib 鍵正匹
• 圖位：APA 稿常末置圖；設 documentmode: man
• 缺 CSL 文：apaquarto 含 APA CSL；papaja 用者或須定 csl: apa.csl
• 摘中特符：YAML 摘塊中避 markdown 格

• create-quarto-report - 通 Quarto 文造
• generate-statistical-tables - 發版就之表
