Abstract
This paper provides an overview of how to use APA
formatting. The rules in the sixth edition of the
Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association. Errors that were corrected in later
runs of the sixth edition are also discussed.
Keywords: formatting, styles guides, APA
WHAT STUDENTS NEED TO KNOW

Formatting the assignment content
z
3
Use double-spacing throughout the paper including the title
page, abstract, body of the document, reference list, appendixes,
tables, and figure captions. APA does permit single spacing within references but double spacing between references (see Publication
Manual, p. 323).
Major headings are centered. The first word of the heading is capitalized as well as all major words. Articles, short
prepositions, and coordinating conjunctions, however, are not
capitalized (Falcao, 2005).
Other issues also need to be considered. Students and teachers
alike need to pay attention to using subheadings. For example,
• Page #s • 12 pt font• Times New Roman • Double spaced• Indented• Left justified• No underlining• Bold forheadings• You can nowuse bullets

Running head 3
Use double-spacing throughout the paper including the title
page, abstract, body of the document, reference list, appendixes,
tables, and figure captions. APA does permit single spacing within references but double spacing between references. (See p. 326
of the Publication Manual.)
Major headings are centered. The first word of the heading is capitalized as well as all major words. Articles, short
prepositions, and coordinating conjunctions, however, are not
capitalized (Falcao, 2005).
Other issues also need to be considered. Students and teachers
alike need to pay attention to using subheadings. For example,
• Running heads is only on the title page. Just use the title here.
•1 inch margins

short prepositions, and coordinating conjunctions are not
capitalized; and (c) the heading is not italicized.
