(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In science fiction fandom an APA is a periodically collated fanzine (or specifically apazine) for which the pages are printed by each contributor on his own, and then sent to be collated and redistributed solely to the contributors themselves. (Derives from Amateur Press Association)
APA style is a widely-used and accepted format for the writing style of research papers, (such as the arrangement and punctuation of footnotes and bibliographies). Some institutions also use MLA style. Some use both styles, and prefer APA for social sciences and MLA for the arts. Other institutions may use Chicago, Turabian, or their own in-house style guides.In Hinduism, Apa is one of the vasu, a servant of Indra and, later, Vishnu.
The word 'apa' is also Swedish for monkey.
