Formatting Your Paper in APA Style
The title of the paper goes on the first line under the
header. Use a font that is clear to read such as the default font of
the Word program: 11-point Calibri. Other common fonts are 11-
point Arial or 12-point Times New Roman. Most importantly, use
the same font throughout the paper. All lines in the paper are
double-spaced. Use 1-in. (2.54-cm) margins on all sides.
Indent each new paragraph using the tab key or 0.5 in.;
otherwise, all lines are aligned with the left margin and uneven on
the right margin, so there is only one space between words. Use
one space after ending punctuation marks.
When quoting a source, aim to integrate the quote in the
narrative by identifying the author in a signal phrase such as
Johnson (2020) stated, “Use quotes when paraphrasing would
alter the intent or impact of the original author’s words” (p. 22).
Further integrate source information by following any quotes or
