  1. APA, 5th Edition Made Easy Created by Dr. Freda Turner, UOP Faculty Adapted by Barbara Taylor, Instructional Specialist Edited by William Noble, UOP Faculty And Leslie Ann L. Dunn, Esq. UOP Faculty

  2. Basics • Font: Times New Roman, 12 point • Margins, 1.0 all around- unjustified right margin. • Everything is 1.5 spacing • No Footnotes

  3. Title Page (APA) • Page numbers start with title page • Header includes 2 or 3 words from title, then 5 spaces and page number. • See example of title page on next slide • “Running Header” is optional • All group assignments need to have the names of all group members (not just “Team A”)

  4. Title page1 Title of Paper Your name(s) Charles Drew High School Date Course name/Period Instructor’s name

  5. Text Pages • Title is centered on first page of text. • All paragraphs are indented ½ inch • Everything is 1.5 spaced • Abstract not required • No table of contents

  6. Citations • Short quotes with fewer than 40 words are incorporated into text and enclosed by quotation marks. Example: “Approximately 27% of the workforce displays poor emotional intelligence.” (APA, 2001, p. 121).

  7. Citations (cont.) • Quote in middle of sentence. End the passage with quotation marks, cite the source in parentheses immediately after the quotation marks and continue the sentence with no period. Example: She stated, “The placebo effect disappeared” (APA, 2001, p. 121) but she did not clarify.

  8. Citations (cont.) • Quote at end of sentence. End quote with the punctuation outside the final parenthesis. Example: Miele (1993) found “the placebo effect disappeared” (p. 276). Text for the next sentence.

  9. The Block Quote • Each line in a block quote is indented 5 spaces and does not have quotation marks • Cite the quoted source afterthe final punctuation mark.

  10. The Block Quote - Example • Example: Miele (1993) found the following: The placebo effect which had been verified in previous studies, disappeared when behaviors were studied in this manner. Furthermore, the behaviors were never exhibited again (p. 276).

  11. Paraphrasing (preferred) • Page and/or paragraph numbers only required for direct quotes. Example: Emotional intelligence is the ability to accurately perceive emotions in self and others, and to use emotional information to make intelligent decisions (Goleman, 2000).

  12. References (APA) • Reference page follows text and references must be cited in text. • 1.5 and 1st line is flush left with remaining lines of reference indented 5 spaces (hanging indent). • See examples below

  13. References Elkind, D. (1978).The child's reality: Three developmental themes.New York: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. Issac, G. (1995). Is bipolar disorder the most common diagnostic entity in hospitalized adolescents and children?Adolescents, 30(118), 273-276.
