-Include a title page on all APA formatted assignments, with all required information. I encourage you to use the templates available in the Student Success Center.

-Ensure that you use Times New Roman, 12, black font in all areas, including headers, and use “APA running head different first page”. Here is a great resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfZbEHsWPkQ

-Only use Times New Roman font 12, black, when working in APA formatting; this includes all running head areas.

-Do not bold any areas of your work.

-Do not use CAPSLOCK anywhere excluding your running head.

-Do not underline areas, such as the title.

-Center all title page information.

-Include the date on your title page.

-In APA formatting your title is centered on the first content page (Reference List or References) on the top line.

-List references alphabetically, rather than by type.

-Keep the same font color, size and style throughout (Times New Roman, 12, black).

-Authors are to be listed Last Name, First Initial: Smith, J. (2016)…

-Separate areas with period markers: Author. (Year). Title…

-Left-align the first line of each reference to the “0” line, and indent all lines after the first ½ inch.

Fill all lines with content. You will want to break up your links or information in such a manner that it is the full first line, full second line at ½ inch indentation, etc.

-Double-space all content, removing any extra spaces between references.

-Capitalize the first letter of journal title, and when applicable the first word after a colon; all other words are not capitalized, excluding proper nouns.

-If a reference has areas coming up in CAPSLOCK, adjust it manually.

-Italicize journal titles.

-If a DOI is listed you will not need to include the permalink.

-Remove any blank pages after content ends, or in between pages.
