What is latin for thus it stand in APA format?

Answer 1

Not sure exactly what you want. First, do you want "thus it stand" in Latin? Or do you want "thus it standS" in Latin?

The first would be subjunctive in English, so Latin is : Sic stet.

The second is indicative in English, so the Latin is : Sic stat.

Next. since APA Format is for writing research papers, why do you need that phrase? It's not used anywhere in formal writing. However, 'sic,' which is Latin for 'thus,' is used in formal writing.

Sic, invariably bracketed and usually set in italics, is used to indicate that a preceding word or phrase in a quoted passage is reproduced as it appeared in the original passage. Sic at its best is intended to aid readers who might be confused about whether the quoter or the quoted writer is responsible for the spelling or grammatical anomaly.

You should therefore position [sic] straight after the error to which it refers: if a misspelling, after the word concerned; otherwise after the phrase.
