Title of Paper: In Title Case

The body of your paper uses a half-inch first line indent and is double-spaced with no extra-spacing between paragraphs. If Word automatically adds an extra space between paragraphs, you can change that setting under the section of the toolbar called “Paragraph” or right-click on a selection of your text and select “Paragraph” there. Adjust the “Spacing” elements to “0” and “0.” Note that the word Introduction should not be used as an initial heading, as it is assumed that your paper begins with an introduction. Instead, the title of your paper is repeated as the first line of page 2. The body of your paper should be aligned left uniformly on the left and jagged on the right. Do not justify the text.

Heading Level 1

You may separate sections of your paper by using headings. If the body of your paper needs to be divided into sections, then you would add a descriptive title in the center and bolded as you see here. Each word in the heading is capitalized. Text begins on the next line and is indented as you do for all new paragraphs. More than one level of heading is not required.

Heading Level 2

If your paper requires your Level 1 heading to be broken into parts (for example, a Level 1 heading might be Countries and then analysis of different countries follows) then you may need another heading formatted as you see above (for example, to work through analysis of each individual country). Level 2 headings should be aligned flush left. Do not add extra line spaces between sections or between paragraphs within the body of your paper.

You must include at least one in-text citation for every reference listed in your references section. This identifies the information in your paper that comes from each source for your reader. An in-text citation might be placed at the end of a sentence in which you make a specific claim, like this (Author’s Last Name, Year of Publication). Or the article you are referring to might be part of the sentence, like this. Author’s Last Name (Year of Publication) found that….

References

[The References section begins on a new page, separated from the body of your paper. Label this page References in bold, centered at the top of the page (do NOT underline or use quotation marks for the title). References (plural) should always be the name of the section, even if you are only citing one source. All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your paper. References are presented in alphabetical order by the last name of the first author. They are formatted with a hanging indent. Be sure that every reference you list has a corresponding in-text citation within the body of your paper and vice versa. Some examples are below. [You will need to explore the variety of formats that are specific to different types of references using the APA Publication Manual, 7th ed.]
