I added the bibliography-apa branch to try APA style references. I like the look and feel though it has some consequences.

Biggest change is that authors need to be aware of different citation methods.

  • \parencite for references in parentheses, e.g. (Burger & Burge, 2015)
  • \textcite when using a reference in the text, e.g. "as mentioned by Burger & Burge (2015)..."
  • \cite when a reference is already within parentheses (to avoid double brackets), e.g. "Styles are fun (see Kopka & Daly, 2003 for more information)".

Another consequence is that every bibliography item needs an author or title and a year field. This can be difficult for URLs at times.

Other than that, APA reverts URLs back to serif, so I had to move the \urlstyle{sf} command after the biblatex include.

Have a look - comments appreciated!

Since it has been a while and the tests with APA bibliography were not that satisfying for our cause, I will close this issue and also remove the associated branch https://github.com/Digital-Media/HagenbergThesis/tree/bibliography-apa.
