Abstract
Provide this page as a separate page that describes in at least 300 words a summarized
overview of the research paper. This page does not need to provide detailed information
relevant to the content of the assignment. Construction of this page should include the
identification of general points that are central to the selected topic. Explanation should be
provided as how and why they will be discussed in great detail within the body content (the
required Word Count for completion of the assignment) of the research paper.
The Title of the Research Paper
This area is where the first line of the body of the Contents begins. It is also where the
required word count for the assignment is to begin.
All paragraphs of the text MUST be indented, and all lines of the text MUST be double-
spaced.
All information extracted and utilized to complete this section MUST be cited utilizing
Parenthetical References in accordance with APA Writing Guidelines. Parenthetical References
for sources used MUST be cited in abbreviated format and clarity to ensure that the resource
can be properly identified within the Reference Page. For example, an article cited from the
National Association of Mental Health would be abbreviated as NAMH vice the full name of the
organization. Abbreviation of resources is necessary to prevent Parenthetical Referencing from
reducing the Word Count requirement for the Contents of the assignment.
To ensure that the required Word Count for the assignment is achieved, this section of
the assignment will be checked utilizing the Microsoft Task Bar. The functions utilized will
include the Review, Word Count, and Spelling and Grammar (Mechanical and Grammatical
errors) icons located within the Microsoft Task Bar. The contents of the body will be
highlighted and transferred to a blank Word Document page. Then, the Contents will be
reviewed utilizing the Review, Word Count, and Spelling and Grammar icons. Once this process
is completed, the submitted assignment will be graded for compliance and completeness. The
Microsoft Task Bar is the task bar located at the top of the page for the Word Document
program of Office 365.
References
This page is where ALL sources utilized for completing this assignment will be
documented. This page is to be a separate page and is NOT to be started as the last line of the
Contents section of the assignment. All sources MUST be listed in alphabetical order and in
compliance of the method prescribed by APA Writing Guidelines. The number of sources cited
MUST meet the minimum required within the instructions provided for this assignment.
