Running head: DANCING FOX

SAMPLE APA PAPER (6
th
ed.)
Note: Per APA 6th edition, the header on the cover page is different from the rest of the paper. How one does this is go into page layout and page setup. In the bottom right corner is a box with an arrow. If the arrow is clicked, a box with page setup options appears. Under layout is the box to check to make a “different first page.” The cover page header includes the words Running head: and the header the student creates, in all capital letters. The rest of the paper just has the header without the words Running head and the colon. The header is flush left but the page numbers are flush right. Make sure the font is the same as the rest of the paper. These instructions are for Word XP.

Note: In APA style, center the following information in the middle of the page: title, your name, course title and section, the instructor’s name, and the date. APA only requires the title, author’s name, and institutional affiliation, but most CSP instructors ask for the date and course information too. Do not use contractions in formal papers—either in the title or the body of the paper (“do not” rather than “don’t”). Titles should include no more than 12 words. The title uses upper and lowercase letters. Use double-spacing throughout the entire paper except with charts or tables. Do not use any extra spacing except if you use page breaks between chapters (for very long papers) and between the paper and the reference section. Use Times Roman, 12 point font. Do not use bold except for headings. Margins are set for one inch on top, bottom, and sides. Note: This paper reflects the sixth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. (last updated 4-13-10)
