It depends on what you mean by “APA.” If you mean straight-from-the-source guidance on requirements of ethical research—from protecting confidentiality to citing sources—go directly to the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association (6^th ed.). For useful discussion on the nuances of APA style, visit the APA style blog at http://blog.apastyle.org/.
