Note on Headings: In title case, most words are capitalized.

Notes on margins:

· Use 1” margins.

· Align the text to the left and leave the right margin uneven (“ragged”). Do not use full justification.

Notes on Tables and Figures: There are two options for the placement of tables (and figures) in a paper. The first is to embed tables in the text after each is first mentioned (or “called out”); the second is to place each table on a separate page after the reference list. Business reports prefer the 1st option . These tables/figures should be ½ page or less and placed within the text just below the paragraph where the data is discussed. ALWAYS discuss your table/figure in the text before the table/figure, including a reference such as, “…as shown in Table 1.”

Example of table in APA 7:

Table 1

Note. N = 1,022. Total of percentages is not 100 because of rounding.

Additional notes:

· Tables can be single, 1.5, or double-spaced depending on the most effective presentation of the data.

· Insert a double-spaced blank line between the text and the table or figure.

· Table #, title, and notes should be flush left.

Example of chart/graph/visual aid in APA 7:
