Identification of Software

The software titles used in this review came from several sources. The primary source was an Internet search using the term “APA software”. Although no additional titles were identified in this way, students and faculty were asked which software they used, if any, to assist in creating class papers. Finally, a discussion on the subject in the Nurse Educators listserv provided additional anecdotal information on various software programs. For the purposes of this paper -- only software that is available for a WindowsÒ operating systems was reviewed. However several of the programs are available in a variety of languages and for MacIntosh Ò computers. The author purchased all formatting programs.
