Abstract

This is a template paper, pre-formatted for APA style. You’ll need to change the header to your paper title on pages 1 and 2 (be sure to keep the words “Running head” on page 1), add your information on the title page and remove the references below (or use them as a formatting guide) and add your own. If you need more help, see our APA subject guide at http:/library.libguides.com/apa, or ask a librarian for help by contacting us at [email protected], or www.uni.edu/library. If your professor requires an abstract of your paper, it should be here, as a single paragraph in block format, without indenting the paragraph. The abstract should briefly describe your paper’s findings and conclusions. It should be between 150-200 words, generally. If your professor doesn’t require an abstract, delete this page.

Title of paper

Even though it seems redundant, APA style formally wants you to add your title again as you start the body of your paper (see above). Generally, your paper should begin with an introduction. Note that everything should be double-spaced throughout the entire paper. Second, margins are 1-inch wide on all sides. The font should be Times New Roman or a similar font. Every paragraph should be indented ½ inch.

Remember to cite your sources throughout the body of the paper. Articles and books are cited the same way in the text, yet they appear different on the References page. For example, an article by Cronbach and Meehl (1955) and a book by Bandura (1986) are written with the authors’ names and the year of the publication in parentheses. However, if you look on the References page they look a little different. Remember that APA style does not use footnotes or anything like that for citations. Two other things about citations are important. When a citation is written inside parentheses: (Cronbach & Meehl, 1959), an ampersand is used between authors’ names instead of the word “and.” Second, when citing an author’s work using quotations, be sure to include a page number. For example, Rogers (1961) once wrote that two important elements of a helping relationship are “genuineness and transparency” (p. 37). Notice that the page number is included here. Unless a direct quote is taken from a source, the page number is not included.

References at the end of the paper should be in alphabetical order, double-spaced, with a hanging indent of ½”, as formatted below.
