REFERENCES A list of references here in the correct APA format. 1 1 APA format for academic papers and essays Important APA format guidelines are: · Use 12 pt Times New Roman · Set 1 inch page margins · Apply double line spacing · Insert a subtitle in all CAPS on every page except the cover page (top left) · Insert page numbers (top right) · Indent every new paragraph ½ inch Writing in Third Person: Use third person for all academic writing. For formal writing, such as research and argumentative papers, use the third person. Third person makes your writing more objective and less personal. For academic and professional writing, this sense of objectivity allows the writer to seem less biased and, therefore, more credible.[1] · Third person helps the writing stay focused on facts and evidence instead of personal opinion. Avoid first person pronouns. First person refers to a point of view in which the writer says things from his or her personal perspective. This point of view makes things too personal and opinionated. You should avoid first person in an academic essay.[2] · First person pronouns include: I, me, my, mine, myself, we, us, our, ours, ourselves.[3] · The problem with first person is that, academically speaking, it sounds too personalized and too subjective. In other words, it may be difficult to convince the reader that the views and ideas being expressed are unbiased and untainted by personal feelings. Many times, when using first person in academic writing, people use phrases like "I think," "I believe," or "in my opinion." · Incorrect example: “Even though Smith thinks this way, I think his argument is incorrect.” · Correct example: “Even though Smith thinks this way, others in the field disagree.” Refer to the subject in general terms. Sometimes, a writer will need to refer to someone in indefinite terms. In other words, they may need to generally address or speak about a person. This is usually when the temptation to slip into the second person “you” comes into play. An indefinite third person pronoun or noun is appropriate here. · Indefinite third person nouns common to academic writing include: the writer, the reader, individuals, students, a student, an instructor, people, a person, a woman, a man, a child, researchers, scientists, writers, experts. · Example: “In spite of the challenges involved, researchers still persist in their claims.” · Indefinite third person pronouns include: one, anyone, everyone, someone, no one, another, any, each, either, everybody, neither, nobody, other, anybody, somebody, everything, someone. · Incorrect example: "You might be tempted to agree without all the facts." · Correct example: “One might be tempted to agree without all the facts.” Title Page Example: SUBTITLES For an APA header you need SUBTITLE (Shortened version of your paper title), and the page number on the right. The header on the first page is a little different so make sure you click the button that says “different first page”. Here is format your header and add your page number and subtitle: 1. Go to the Insert page in Word. Select Header from the Header & Footer section. 2. Select Blank Header, the first option. 3. Click on Page Number on the top left. Select Top of Page, then Plain Number 1. The pages will now have the page number on them. 4. Type the subtitle in all caps. 5. After typing the subtitle, place the cursor immediately to the left of the page number. Press page or tab until the page number is on the right of the page. 6. Select the Different First Page option at the top center. Make sure you are on the first page and take off the subtitle. 7. Finally, make sure you highlight the entire header and put it in Times New Roman 12 point font. Abstract An APA Abstract is a one paragraph summary (introduction) of your paper. It is a short overview of your paper. Although most regular APA formatting guidelines apply, the abstract page also has specific requirements. The abstract starts with a centered heading “Abstract” and the word abstract is in Bold.. In contrast to regular APA headings, no styling is applied. The first line of the paragraph is, unlike regular paragraphs, not indented. Additionally, at the end of the paragraph you will need to add a keywords line. Reference page The APA Reference Page, also called reference list, is where all sources cited in the text are listed. The citations differs for each source type. Aside from the references itself, the reference page as a whole also has specific APA formatting guidelines. Sources should be listed in alphabetical order. In-Text citations examples: An APA in-text citation consists of the author’s last name and year of publication, for example: (Smith, 2020). When quoting, also include page numbers, for example (Smith, 2020, p.170). Quotes are discouraged, just state the information in your own words and then cite the source. · The author claims that “plagiarism is becoming a bigger problem” (Smith, 2014, p. 170). · As Smith (2014) has shown, plagiarism is a serious issue for universities. · In 2014, Smith found that plagiarism is becoming increasingly widespread. Author type First in-text citation Subsequent in-text citations No author (“Title of the Work,” 2018) (“Title of the Work,” 2018) 1 author (Taylor, 2018) (Taylor, 2018) 2 authors (Taylor & Kotler, 2018) (Taylor & Kotler, 2018) 3 – 5 authors (Taylor, Kotler, Johnson, & Parker, 2018) (Taylor et al., 2018) 6+ authors (Taylor et al., 2018) (Taylor et al., 2018) Organization (identified through abbreviation) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018) (CDC, 2018) Organization (no abbreviation) (Apple, 2018) (Apple, 2018) mp No author If the author is unknown, cite the first few words of the reference list entry instead (usually the title). Enclose the title in double quotation marks when citing an article, web page or book chapter. Italicize the title of periodicals, books, reports and brochures. · (“U.S. Flood Risk Could Be Worse Than We Thought,” 2015) · (Thinking, Fast and Slow, 2017) No date For sources without a year of publication, use “n.d.” (no date) instead: (Johnson, n.d.). 1 APA format for academic papers and essays I mportant APA form at guidelines are: · Use 12 pt Times New Roman · Set 1 inch page margins · Apply double line spacing · Insert a subtitle in al l CAPS on every page except the cover page (top left) · Insert page numbers (top right) · Indent every new paragraph ½ inch Writing in Third Person: Use third person for all academic writing.
