2- APA PAPER FORMAT

· ABSTRACT INDENTATION. The abstract should be one paragraph and is not indented. This is the only paragraph of the paper that is not indented.

· KEYWORDS FORMAT. The keywords come on the line immediately below the abstract, and are indented 1/2", with "Keywords" as one word: in italics, capitalized, not bold, and followed by a colon. If the keywords continue onto the next line, they are formatted like a paragraph on the left margin.

· KEYWORDS. The keywords should include only key content terms, and should not be capitalized. Don’t use phrases that are too general to be meaningful.

· PAPER TITLE; be centered, in title case (each word is capitalized), but not bold.

· INTRODUCTION–NO HEADING. The introduction of your paper should start immediately after the title of the paper, but with NO heading to indicate that it is the introduction.

· MARGINS. Margins need to be 1 inch from all edges and consistent throughout the paper

· SECTION SPACING. Paragraphs and sections should be double-spaced between, and new sections should follow immediately after the end of a preceding section.

· REFERENCE HEADING. The reference heading should say “References” and is capitalized, centered, but not bold.

· REFERENCE SPACING. References should be double-spaced starting from the header, with no extra line space after each reference.

· You should not include the outline in the paper.

· Be sure not to overuse the semi-colon. You only need it when you are connecting two completely separate sentences. Check your paper for that. Also, you do not have commas where you need them sometimes. Like "according to B (2017) ...” you need a comma after a non-complete phrase like that.

3- APA CITATION FORMAT

· FACTS WITHOUT CITATION. You need to make sure that all sentences with facts have a citation. You may need to connect sentences with a semi-colon to make that happen.

· DISCUSSING AUTHORS. Don’t discuss your authors by their names in the text, except as citations. You need to state ideas and just cite last names and years. Don’t talk about them as people-refer to them solely as sources of information.

· MISSING COMMA. Some of your sources are missing a comma before the year.

· ET Al. You have some et al. errors. Don’t italicize. Don’t put a comma before (et al.), and put a period and space after. Only put a comma before the year if it is in parentheses: Jones et al. (2017) or (Jones et al., 2017).

· REFERRING TO AUTHORS. Don’t say "According to X, Y, Z." It’s better to "X, Y, and Z found that..." or put author names at the end of a statement.

· FORMAT AND ORDER: References should be left-justified with a hanging indent, double-spaced with no extra line space, and listed in alphabetical order. They should not be numbered.
