Navigating APA nuances: complex tables, multi-source citations, datasets, personal c

[JeffreyLH]

I'm finishing my master's thesis in psychology, and while I'm generally comfortable with APA style guidelines, I'm consistently tripped up on the finer points of formatting complex tables, citing multiple sources within a single parenthesis, and properly referencing datasets I've accessed from a public repository. My university's writing center gave conflicting advice on how to handle personal communications and unpublished manuscripts in my reference list, which has added to my confusion right before submission. For fellow graduate students or academics who write frequently in APA, what are your go-to resources beyond the manual for clarifying these nuanced rules? How do you manage the formatting process efficiently, and do you use any specific reference management software or templates that you've found particularly reliable for ensuring consistency, especially with in-text citations and the reference page?
