  1. APA, 5th Edition Made Easy Created by Dr. Freda Turner, UOP Faculty Adapted by Barbara Taylor, Instructional Specialist

  2. APA, 5th Edition –Released Aug 2001

  3. Basics • Font: Times New Roman, 12 point • Margins, 1.0 all around- unjustified right margin. (Left margin can be 1 l/2 inch if professor requests that it be bound.) • Everything is double-spaced

  4. Title Page • 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.

  5. Title page1 Running head: APA IS EASY Title of Paper Your name Name of University

  6. Text Pages • Title is centered on first page of text. • All paragraphs are indented 5-7 spaces • Everything is double-spaced • Must have at least 2 lines of a paragraph at the bottom of the page and 2 at the top of the page.

  7. 3 Easy Rules on Quotes 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).

  8. The Quote & the Period Rules Quote in Mid 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.

  9. Quote at the End of the Sentence End quote with the punctuation outside the final parenthesis. Example: Miele (1993) found “the placebo effect disappeared” (p. 276).

  10. The Block Quote Cite the quoted source afterthe final punctuation mark. Example: Meiele (1993) found the following: APA is much easier than MLA format, and students learn it quickly.(p. 176)

  11. Long Quotes: 40 or More Words 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)

  12. Electronic References • Documents retrieved from the Internet should include Internet source, document title, date retrieved (URL or uniform resource locator). • Electronic Example: As Myers(2000, para 5) aptly phrased it, “positive emotions are great.”

  13. Example of Electronic Retrieved Article Fredrickson, B. L. (2000, March 7). Cultivating positive emotions to optimize health and well-being. Prevention & Treatment. Retrieved November 20, 2000, from http://journals.apa.org.html.

  14. Reference or References • Reference page follows text and references must be discussed in text. • Double space and 1st line is flush left with remaining lines of reference indented 5 spaces. See example, next slide.

  15. Example 4 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.

  16. Appendix • Type the word <Appendix> in upper and lower case with the identifying capital letters (A, B,) at the top of the page. • Appendix contains detailed info that would be distracting to read in the text -like a list of survey questions. • Must be discussed in text if included.

  17. Tables • Table usually presents quantitative data - if included, must be discussed in text. • Everything on table is double-spaced • Number all tables with Arabic numbers (1,2,3), double space, and then clear title. Example: Table 1 Delta Airlines 52-week Stock Tracking

  18. Figure • Each figure numbered consecutively in the order in which first mentioned in the text. • Figures are photographs, drawings or non-quantitative data. • Each figure must have a caption, inserted at the top left. • Example: Figure 1. New Boeing Aircraft Design

  19. Order of APA Pages • Title page with running head, title, byline, and school name • Abstract - if required by instructor • Text • References • Appendixes on separate page • Tables on separate page • Figures on separate page

  20. Common APA FeloniesFailure to: • Double space EVERYTHING • Have unjustified (ragged) right edge • Quotes need 3 things (author’s last name,year of publication and pg/para number) • References flush left for first line - never use author’s first name - only initials.
