Topic 2 APA Tips

PSY-260: Topic 2 APA Tips

· Include a title page on all APA formatted assignments, with all required information. You are encouraged to use the templates available in the Student Success Center.

· Ensure that you use Times New Roman, 12, black font in all areas.

· The blue underlined format for URLS and DOIs are allowed.

· Do not bold any areas of your work, except headings (including titles and reference headings).

· Do not use CAPSLOCK anywhere.

· Exceptions include publishers who have their names in all caps.

· Do not underline areas, such as the title.

· URLS and DOIs however, may be underlined and in blue, or they may be black and not underlined.

· Center all title page information and include the date on your title page.

· List references alphabetically, rather than by type.

· Formatting for articles should follow the format provided in the GCU APA Style Guide, found in the Student Success Center, and on the GCU Library’s Citing Sources guide.

· APA requires the use of the hanging indent setting specifically, you should not use manual settings.

· 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.

· Due to Word’s line break rules with URLs this may not happen—and that is allowed in APA.

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

· Format journal titles in title case, capitalizing all major words and lowercasing, articles, conjunctions, and prepositions with three or fewer letters.

· Journal titles are capitalized according to the published capitalization, usually every word over 4 letters. Some are in all caps, such as SAGE Open Nursing

· 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.

· Permalinks (links to library databases) are not allowed in APA 7

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