Developing a Title Page, How to Complete References, APA style - 1

Things to know about title pages and references:

The next pages include some samples on how to prepare your papers.

Title Page:

The first page is the sample of how the title page of your paper should look.

Please note that for the running head, you can truncate (shorten) the title, so that there are not more than 50 spaces/letter, including the words “Running Head,” which is capitalized to say “RUNNING HEAD:”

To make it easy on yourself, just highlight the following title page, hit copy and then paste it into your assignment. The only thing that won’t copy is the header. To insert the header (this is because you want yours to have your name, not mine on it), complete the following:

  1. On your toolbar, go to “View”
  2. Select “Header and Footer”
  3. Now you will see a box made of dotted lines. You need to be able to type over at the left side. If your pointer is not over to the left, then click on the left justification bar (third box to the right from where the underline icon is on your toolbar). Click on this, and it should bring your pointer to the left side).
  4. Type in your last name followed by a space, followed by a hyphen, followed by a space, for example – Smith -.
  5. Then, in the box below, click on the first icon that looks like a piece of paper w/ the top left corner turned down, with a # sign on it (insert page number).
  6. Then hit close.

This should give you your header for your paper so that it is paginated throughout.

NOTE: Always check in w/ your instructor to see their preferences for a title page, because some prefer one way over another, especially w/ respect to the header.

After the sample title page, you can see some samples of how your reference page should look. Please be aware that you should only have sources listed if you referenced them in your paper, and you should only have things referenced in your paper if you included them in your reference list. Please do not list any books that you read that you did not cite in your paper.

I have included samples of journals, books, internet sites, and some samples of other types of sources, so you can see how to cite any of your sources.
