The Excelsior Online Writing Lab created this template to give writers a foundation for formatting using the American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines. Throughout this essay, you’ll find helpful links to topics related to the APA and the essay writing process in general. For instance, in the opening paragraph of your essay, \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://owl.excelsior.edu/writing-process/thesis-sentence/\" \u0014it’s important to create a strong thesis statement\u0015.\nAll APA papers begin with a title page. Beginning a few lines down on the first page, the title page starts with your essay’s title in bold. Following an extra space, the rest of your information is then listed. Your title page should include: your name, your program and institution, the class name, your instructor’s name, and the assignment’s due date. For more guidance on your title page and other facets of APA style, \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://owl.excelsior.edu/citation-and-documentation/apa-style/apa-formatting-guide/\" \\h \u0014visit our APA Formatting Guide\u0015.\nYou will notice that we’ve chosen 12-point Times New Roman font for our template essay. Other standard fonts, such as Arial or Calibri, are perfectly acceptable. You’ll also notice that all our text—from the title page to block quotes—is double-spaced. The margins are set to 1 inch on all sides. A page number should appear in top right corner of every page (including the title page), placed flush with margin. The header can be accessed on most word processing programs by double-clicking or right-clicking on the top of the page.\nSection headings are often used in APA writing to establish flow and organize information. First-level headings are centered, bolded, with all major words capitalized. (Note: you don’t need a heading at the beginning of your paper; that’s what your title is for.) While most APA papers call for first-level headings, there are several other heading levels for when information needs to be broken down further. We’ve included a first-level heading below. The OWL contains information on \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://owl.excelsior.edu/citation-and-documentation/apa-style/apa-headings/\" \u0014the other styles of headings and when to use them\u0015.\nQuoting and Citations\nQuoting from sources will probably be an important part of your essay. \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://owl.excelsior.edu/research/drafting-and-integrating/drafting-and-integrating-using-quotations/\" \\h \u0014The Excelsior OWL has resources to help integrate quotes into your writing.\u0015 In APA style, direct quotes can be incorporated in your paragraphs if they are shorter than 40 words. Remember to properly introduce and cite your quotations. For instance, if we were writing a paper on the importance of reading, a short quotation might come from a study by Bavishi, Slade, and Levy (2016) that “hypothesized that book reading provides a survival advantage, and that this advantage is mediated by cognitive engagement” (p. 4). In this example, because we’ve introduced the authors before the quotation, we don’t need to include them in the parenthetical citation. Also, pay special attention to the position of your punctuation as APA style is unique in that regard. The OWL has further guidance on \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://owl.excelsior.edu/citation-and-documentation/apa-style/apa-in-text-citations/\" \\h \u0014how to format an in-text citation\u0015. Additionally, remember to cite not just direct quotations \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://owl.excelsior.edu/research/drafting-and-integrating/drafting-and-integrating-paraphrasing/\" \\h \u0014but paraphrases as well\u0015.\nExcerpts longer than 40 words should be formatted in block quotations. Remember to introduce your block quote, typically with a sentence that ends with a colon. For instance, if we were continuing our essay on the importa","cbCainrmXXonklcg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainrmXXonklcg","docx",377605,7,"English","# APA 7th Edition Paper Template\n## Title Page Requirements\n## Font, Spacing, Margins, and Pagination\n## Section Headings\n## Quoting and Citations\n### Direct Quotes and Paraphrasing\n### Block Quotations\n## Figures, Tables, and Notes","[{\"question\":\"What should be included on the APA title page?\",\"answer\":\"The title page includes the essay title in bold, followed by the student’s name, program and institution, class name, instructor name, and the assignment due date.\"},{\"question\":\"What formatting settings does the template specify for the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The template uses 12-point Times New Roman, double-spaced text, 1-inch margins on all sides, and page numbers flush with the top-right margin on every page.\"},{\"question\":\"How should quotes be handled in APA style within the template?\",\"answer\":\"Direct quotes under 40 words can be placed in paragraphs with proper introduction and citation.
