Dear gang, There is a typo in bibl-apa.tex, line 201: \insertedition{ }{ edition}{}% Occurs again on line 285. It needs to be corrected to \insertedition{ }{ edition.}{}% ADD A PERIOD! Other parts of this file do this correctly. I've corrected the file manually but it needs to be fixed for the next beta; thanks!

edition gets abbreviated "ed." according to the APA standard.
p.203 of the 2013 edition of the APA style guide:
\startquotation
* Place information about editions, volume numbers, and page numbers
(such as revised edition, volume number, or chapter page range) in
parentheses following the title, with the period after the parentheses:
(Rev. ed.) or (Vol. xx, pp. xxx–xxx). As with periodicals, for any
nonroutine information that is important for identification and
retrieval, place a description of content in brackets following the
title: [Brochure].
\stopquotation
Now, the mkii bibliography uses a sort of hybrid APA-like style, but
normally there would NOT be a period after "edition" (unless it is
abbreviated "ed.") as it should be followed either by a comma or by a
right parenthesis.

Now, the mkii bibliography uses a sort of hybrid APA-like style, but normally there would NOT be a period after "edition" (unless it is abbreviated "ed.") as it should be followed either by a comma or by a right parenthesis.
In that case, 'edition' should be replaced by 'ed.'. Try this: \startpublication[k=haq, t=book, a=Haq, y=1994, s=SNHq94] \author[]{Syed Nomanul}[S.]{}{Haq} \title{Names, Natures, and Things} \pubname{Kluwer} \edition{2\high{nd}} \note{Two volumes} \city{Dordrecht} \pubyear{1994} \stoppublication In the output there is 'edition' followed by 'Dordrecht'. Now that just can't be right -) Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
