Both the active and the passive voice are permitted in APA Style. However, writers often overuse the passive voice.

Use the active voice as much as possible to create direct, clear, and concise sentences, especially when you are writing about the actions of people.

Use the passive voice when it is more important to focus on the recipient of an action than on who performed the action, such as when describing an experimental setup.

Etken:

the children ate the cookies

Edilgen, fail adlı:

the cookies were eaten by the children

Edilgen, fail çıkarılmış — APA’nın uyarısı:

the cookies were eaten

did the children eat the cookies, or was it the dog?

form of “to be” + past participle = passive voice

• Edilgen çatı bir dilbilgisi hatası değildir. Bir açıklık seçimidir.
• Bir to be fiili otomatik olarak edilgen değildir. "John is a good student" bir durumu betimler.
• Birinci kişi otomatik olarak etken değildir. Birinci kişili edilgen bir cümle yazabilirsiniz.
• "Never use the passive" kendisi bir mittir. Bazı cümleler o yolla daha açıktır.
• Dilbilgisi denetleyicileri edilgenlerin yalnızca bir kesimini yakalar, çünkü bir hatayı işaretlemezler.

CMOS Q&A, Usage and Grammar #198:

Although it’s good to avoid excessive use of the passive voice, and it’s especially important to avoid using it to hide who has done something (“Lies were told”), the best writing usually involves regular use of the passive, and it would be a mistake to root it out as a policy.

CMOS Q&A, Usage and Grammar #185:

The idea that the passive must be avoided is a superstition that language professionals long ago abandoned, although the prohibition remains popular.

CMOS Q&A #185, çatıları karıştırmak üzerine:

in good writing a mix of active and passive is essential for variation and eloquence, as you will find in any classic of English literature. (Strunk and White use the passive throughout The Elements of Style after famously recommending against it.)
