General Formatting Requirements:
In accordance with APA guidelines, your paper
should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″)
with 1″ margins on all sides. You should use a clear font that is highly
readable. APA recommends using 12 pt. Times New Roman font.
Include a page header (also
known as the “running
head“) at the top of every page. To create a page header/running head,
insert page numbers flush right. Then type “TITLE OF YOUR PAPER” in
the header flush left using all capital letters. The running head is a
shortened version of your paper’s title and cannot exceed 50 characters including
spacing and punctuation. Also include an abstract and
references.
The title page, abstract, and
reference pages do not count towards the 5 page minimum page requirement.
