SHORT TITLE OF YOUR PAPER IN ALL CAPS 2

Abstract

An abstract is a brief summary of your essay, thesis, or dissertation. It should be approximately

100-150 words long (unless otherwise indicated by your instructor) and is located on page 2 of

your paper. See that all lines are flush against the left margin, including the very first line of this

abstract. (Don’t indent the first line like you normally would for the first line of each paragraph

of your essay.) The abstract should be concise – you’re attempting to pack in a lot of

information into just a few words. This abstract happens to be 118 words long (not including the

keywords). Remember to include some keywords that your reader should be familiar with

before reading your paper.

Keywords: APA style, citation, formatting

Essay text goes here. Make sure you remember that the first line of each paragraph

should be indented by half an inch. This is easily accomplished by using the Tab key on the

keyboard. A tip: Make sure that your line spacing is set to double spaced (2.0). Also check the

spacing before and after each paragraph. In the Paragraph settings button, Spacing Before and

After should each be set to 0 pt.

If you have any questions about formatting your APA paper or citations, you can contact

the library at (717) 901-5188 or [email protected]. You can also check out our APA

guide located at http://library.harrisburgu.edu/apa. Also, feel free to visit the Purdue Online

Writing Lab (OWL). This site is accessed at

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/.

Remember, your references list will begin on a new page, not at the bottom of the last

page of your essay. See the next page to view example citations. Also see Appendix A and

Appendix B for more information about formatting appendices.

Appendix A

Appendix information goes here. It could be text, charts, graphs, survey questions, etc. The main

thing to remember when deciding if you should include information in the body of your essay or

as an appendix is that generally, you want to make information an appendix if it’s large and/or

complicated. APA style values conciseness – so if information is going to make the body of

your essay no longer be concise, then include the information as an appendix. This allows the

reader to make the decision to view the appendix if (s)he is interested in seeing the details.

Appendix B

If you are writing text as your appendix, notice that the first line should be flush against the left

margin, not indented half an inch as you would for paragraphs in your essay.
