APA Style

Margins (p. 286)

Leave uniform margins of at least 1 in. at the top, bottom, left, and right of every page.

Title Page (p. 296)

Identify the title page with a manuscript page header and the page number 1, placed in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Running head: An abbreviated title will be used as a running head for the published article. Type the running head flush left at the top of the title page (but below the manuscript page header) in all uppercase letters. Do not exceed 50 characters, including punctuation and spaces.

Title: Type the title in uppercase and lower case letters, centered between the left and right margins and position in the upper half of the page. If the title is two or more lines, double-space between the lines.

Byline and institutional affiliation: Type the names of the authors in the order of their contributions using uppercase and lowercase letters, centered between the side margins, one double-spaced line below the title. Type the institutional affiliation, centered under the author’s name, on the next double-spaced line.

Abstract (p. 298)

Begin the abstract on a new page, and identify the abstract page with the manuscript page header and the page number in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Type the label “Abstract” in uppercase and lowercase letters, centered, at the top of the page. Type the abstract itself as a single paragraph in block format and do not exceed 120 words. Type all numbers (except those that begin a sentence) as Arabic numerals (this rule is not applicable to text of article).

Text (p. 298)

Begin the text on a new page, and identify the first text page with the manuscript page header and the page number in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Type the title of the paper centered at the top of the page, double-spaced, and then type the text. The sections of the text follow each other without a break; do not start a new page when a new heading occurs. Each remaining manuscript page should also carry the manuscript page header and page number.

References (p. 299)

Start the reference list on a new page. Type the word “References” in uppercase and lowercase letters, centered, at the top of the page. Double-space all reference entries. APA publishes references in a hanging indent format, meaning that the first line of each reference is set flush left and subsequent lines are indented.

Appendices (p. 299)

Double-space the appendices and begin each one on a separate page. Type the word “Appendix” and the identifying capital letters (A, B, etc., in the order in which they are mentioned in text) centered at the top of the page. If there is only one appendix, do not use an identifying letter; the word “Appendix” is sufficient. Double-space and type the title of the appendix, centered, in uppercase and lowercase letter. Double-space, indent the first line five to seven spaces or ½ in., and begin the text of the appendix.

If tables are to be included in an appendix, precede each appendix table number with a capital “A” (starting with Table A1) or, if the paper includes more than one appendix with tables, the capital letter of the appendix in which it belongs. If an appendix consists of only one table and no introductory text, the centered appendix label and title serve as the table title. In the case of multiple tables but no text, each table should be set up as a separate appendix.

If figures are to be included in an appendix, number them separately from any text figures, beginning with 1 and preceding the numeral with the letter of the appendix in which the figure belongs. List appendix figure captions after those of figures included in the main text.
