Identify your specific formatting task below, click it, and review the guidelines:


Title page

Unless you receive other instructions, make the first page of your paper a title page. The APA Manual doesn't give instructions for the title page of a class paper; the contents and placement of items on the sample title page below are adapted from APA instructions for the title page of a paper to be submitted for publication.

Page Format and Page Header information

(NB: Font sizes enlarged for illustration purposes. In an actual paper, use the same font size as regular text and double space between title of paper, &c.)

For information on title pages for articles to be submitted to APA journals, see pages 10-12 and 296-298 of the Publication Manual.
