Title of the Paper

Begin your paper following a few simple APA rules, pages 228-231. Always include a

title page with the required information, including a running head and page numbers

beginning with Arabic 1, which will be seen on all subsequent pages.

Begin your paper by indenting paragraph. Notice everything is double-spaced. No

more, no less. Also, notice that my font is the same everywhere, 12 pt and Times New

Roman or Arial only. No bold, no underline, etc. If you use headings within your paper you

will need to follow APA for that. If you only use one level of headings, you will follow the

following format.

Tips

The APA manual, 6

edition, should be purchased and followed for every paper. If

you use more than one level of heading, see page 62. If you use seriations, see pages 63-64

for rules on bulleted and numbered lists. There are rules for numbers—when to spell out

and when not to spell out. Punctuation rules, capitalization rules, hyphenation rules, and

most everything else can be found. Do not forget to follow format for citations, pages 169-

179, and reference page, pages 37, 49-51, and 180-192. On the reference page, do not

forget that hanging indents should be used, double-spacing continued, and references must

be listed in alphabetical order. In addition, please note the differences between books,

journals, papers, web addresses, and other resources referenced. Finally all works cited

must be found on the reference page, and all references must have a citation in the body of

the paper.

Plagiarism is inappropriate and is in direct violation of the honor code of The George

Washington University. Please follow quoting and paraphrasing rules found on pages 170-

SHORTENED TITLE 3

171. If citing a direct quote, “the citation must have author name, publication year, and page

number(s)” (Judge, 2011, p. 343). Please take note of the placement of the period after the

citation. Also, if the quote is 40 words or more, follow the rules for block quotes. When

paraphrasing, only cite the author and publication date (Judge, 2011). Be sure when

paraphrasing, that you are actually paraphrasing and not mostly quoting; this would be

considered plagiarism if caught.

Next Heading

Continue paper. Particularly in short papers, headings are not usually required. If

purchase the APA 6

edition manual and you follow these simple APA rules, you will always

earn full APA points on assignments requiring APA, write better, and completely impress

your professors, maybe even enough to earn an A because your classmates probably didn’t

follow APA.
