APA Format

Page Header – In the header, flush left, write “Running head:” and the title of your paper all in capital letters. Include the page number, flush right. Pages after this simply have the title of your paper written in caps plus the page number.

Title – In the upper half of the page, write your title in upper and lower case letters.

Author – Beneath the title, write your first name, middle initial, and last name.

Institution – Beneath the name, write the college where you conducted the research. 

An abstract is a one paragraph summary (150-250 words) of your research. Include your hypothesis, research questions, methods, results, conclusions and implications of your findings

When you use an idea from an author or directly quote an author in your paper, you must acknowledge the author. Usually, the author-date-page method is used.

List your sources flush left. Alphabetize your sources (A-Z) by the last name. References longer than one line should be formatted with hanging indentation.
