Save your file often so you don t lose valuable time or your train of thought! Make a copy of your final paper for your personal records. Contact a reference librarian to assist you with conducting research, APA/MLA styles, formatting web or online citations, etc. Contact the Academic Support Center (all College campuses) to assist you with any questions you may have with writing a paper, including thesis statements, punctuation, grammar, proofreading, APA/MLA styles, etc. Contact your instructor for any questions or guidance needed with your papers. Publication Manual Section Numbers For additional information, check the Publication Manual numbers located after a topic. Digital Object Identifier (DOI) see APA 6.31 If a doi has been assigned to an article, it must be included in the reference. It provides a persistent link to the reference. Include the doi and drop the Retrieved from statement. Do not put a period at the end of the doi. Abstracts - see APA and When using abstracts, you must indicate their use within your citation. For example, Abstract retrieved from OmniFile Full Text Mega database. Alphabetizing your works cited page - see APA 6.25 When alphabetizing your list of works cited, begin with the author s last name (if available) and follow the strict A-Z letter-by-letter sequence. If there is no personal or corporate author for a reference, use the title in the alphabetical sequence. When alphabetizing your list of references, follow a strict A-Z sequence. o Mc versus Mac MacDonald MacIntyre Mabrey Matiste McDougal
2 Authors and Editors see also APA table 6.1 for in text citations on page 177 Note: Not all authors use a middle initial. Format for single author - see APA 6.11 o Smith, J. L.

Numbers o If a title begins with a number, mentally spell the number when placing the item in your reference list. Capitalization see APA Capitalize the first word in a sentence see APA 4.14 Capitalize the first word after a colon see APA 4.14 Capitalize major words in titles and headings within the paper see APA 4.15 Capitalize only the first word of the title, the first word after a colon, after an em dash (parenthetical thought), and proper nouns see APA 4.15 and 4.16 Dates of Publication see APA 6.28 Months are not abbreviated. Journals, books, and audiovisual materials, include the year. o For example, Smith, J. L. (2000). Investigating learning styles. Journal of Meetings, monthly magazines, and newsletters, include the year and month. o For example, Smith, J. L. (2001, May). Students enjoy campus activities.

(in press). Students return to campus after a long summer Digital Object Identifier (DOI) see APA 6.31 If a doi has been assigned to an article, it must be included in the reference. It provides a persistent link to the reference. Include the doi and drop the Retrieved from statement. Do not put a period at the end of the doi.
3 Font - see APA 8.03 Font Use a 12-point font. The preferred font for APA is Times New Roman; however, your instructor may have a preferred font. Header - Go to Insert, and then click on Header. Follow the help guidelines, if needed. Indenting Paragraphs see APA 8.03 When your entry runs more than one line, indent the subsequent line(s) one-half inch. Internet Address see APA 6.31 URL is the uniform resource locator, also known as the Internet address or web address. If a DOI exists, use it instead of the URL. Do not type a period at the end of an Internet address. Avoid dividing an Internet address. If you need to do so, do so at a logical place, such as a slash, period, hyphen, or colon. Margins - Use 1-inch margins (top, bottom, left, and right). Numbers see APA For numbers between zero and nine, spell out the name of the number. For numbers 10 and above, use the number. See APA other rules governing numbers. Online - APA spells online as one word. Page Numbers for your paper - see APA 8.03 Number your pages consecutively placing the number in the upper right hand corner. Use the Header option. Your page numbers should be ½ inch from the top of the page and even with the right margin. Pagination of Resources Journals paginated by issue, include issue number of journal. Each issue of a particular volume begins its pagination with the number 1. o For example, Journal of Student Development, 17(3), Journals continually paginated (or paginated by volume), do not include issue number. Each issue of a particular volume continues the page numbering from the issue before it. o For example, Journal of Student Development, 17, Discontinuous pages, include the page numbers. Discontinuous pages occur when an ad appears in the middle of an article. o For example, Journal of Student Development, 17(3), 27-30, 35. Daily newspaper, include p. # or pp. #-# or pp. #, #. o For example, p. A12 or pp. A12-A13 or pp. A12, A14.

One page given for a multipage article, as shown in EBSCO s database. o The librarians recommend verifying the reference in another database to obtain correct pagination. Page numbers are not given. For example, Journal of Student Development, 17(3).
4 Quotations - see APA 6.03, 6.05, Place the reference outside of a quotation, but inside the punctuation. References At the end of your paper, center the title Reference on a new page, but continue to number the pages from the original paper. Double-space between the title and the first entry. Double-space the entire list, tab ½ inch after the first line (if a citation is longer than a single text) of each separate citation. Alphabetize the list. The examples in this guide are single-spaced to save paper; however, you must double-space your works cited list. Spacing see APA 4.01 Type one space between punctuation marks like commas and semicolons. Type two spaces following punctuation marks at the end of a sentence. APA references and papers are double-spaced; however, this guide is single-spaced. Subtitles Title of the article: Add the subtitle, but remember to capitalize the first word in the subtitle. For example: Clash of the titans: Salaries of professional athletes Titles When formatting the title of the source, use italics. o For a book example: Taming of the shrew o For a journal example: Journal of Student Development Web or Internet Some information can be located by going to View and then to Source while you are on the Web page. If the ~ (tilde) symbol appears on a Web address, you may be looking at someone s personal Web page.
