Start your paper here. An introduction paragraph is a good idea. It should state the purpose of the paper and provide a roadmap for the reader. In APA format you do not have the heading “Introduction” but the first line on this page is the title that was given in the center of your title page.

Please run the spelling and grammar checker before you submit your paper. It will catch mistakes like more than one space between sentences, spelling errors, punctuation mistakes, and split infinitives. Specific errors common in student papers that are not standard APA format include not having 1 inch margins on all sides of your paper and more than one space between sentences. Note that in this example, there are no blank lines between paragraphs. This is correct in APA format.

Heading for a Section of Your Paper

Paragraphs start with an indentation using the ruler setting. Do not use spaces or the tab key. Do not use the “enter” key to get to the next line, just keep typing, and let the computer do the work. Please note that the references at the end of this paper are not cited in the text. This is not okay. They are there to give you examples of correct APA format for references. You must use APA citation format for all sources you use to write your paper.

When you quote another author, you are to use quotation marks when there are 40 words or less. When you have more than 40 words, you should use a block format for the quotation. Please note APA requires you to have the page number for direct quotations as part of your citation along with the author(s) last name and the publication year. If the direct quotation ends a sentence, you are to place the period at the end of the quotation and after the citation’s closed parenthesis there is no period. Yes, this looks weird!

Second Level Heading

You might not use this level of heading in your papers. However, consider it is to your advantage to ensure the reader, i.e., the instructor, sees the organization of your content fits the assignment criteria. Every paragraph should have at least three sentences and contain only one idea (this is not a good example of that!)

Conclusion

Your final paragraph should provide a summary of your paper. This reminds the reader of where you took them on your road trip. It is similar to reviewing your photographs after a vacation. There should be no new information included in the conclusion.
