Abbreviations are 'short cuts'. These short cuts are used so that you do not need to speak or write the full length of the words.
Examples:
Writing the acronym ARDS instead of Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Saying PET scan instead of Positron Emission Tomography scan.
Writing misc for miscellaneous.
Saying doc for doctor.
In APA formatting, acronyms can be used as abbreviations if they are defined the first time they are used in text. Standard abbreviations like "et al." for et alia, "etc." for et cetera, "p." for page, and "vol." for volume are also commonly used. It is important to ensure that the abbreviation is widely recognized and understood by readers.
