APA Format

In most cases, entries on a reference page should be double-spaced. This helps improve readability and accessibility for readers. However, always follow the specific formatting guidelines provided by the academic institution or publication to ensure compliance with their standards.

It depends on whether you are using MLA or APA format. MLA calls the reference page a Works Cited. APA calls the page a Bibliograpy. Both methods have different requirements for the reference page and for internally citing in the paper. You can look up either on the internet and pull up examples of how to cite books, magazines, journals, etc.

For electronic sources, the basic in-text citation format typically includes the author's last name (or the title if no author is available) and the publication year. For example, (Smith, 2019). If there is no author or publication date, use the title of the source instead.

One general rule of APA style is to use a 12-point font size in a readable font style, such as Times New Roman. Another general rule is to double-space the entire paper, including the title page, abstract, main text, and references. In addition, APA format requires a running head on each page of the paper.

Yes, in APA format, references are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the first author of each work. If there is no author, the title of the work is used for alphabetization.

In APA style, capitalize the first letter of the first word of the title, as well as the first letter of any proper nouns in the title. For journal articles, capitalize the first letter of the first word of the title, the first letter of the first word of the subtitle (if present), and any proper nouns in the title. All other words in the title should be in lowercase.

Yes, a DOI can be used in place of a URL in a reference citation for online resources. A DOI provides a stable link to the content and helps ensure the source is easily accessible for readers.

To reference the Tuskegee study in APA style, you would include the surname of the first author, regardless of the format being a book, journal article, or a website. For example: "Washington, H. A. (2006). Medical apartheid: The dark history of medical experimentation on Black Americans from colonial times to the present."

Yes, according to APA style, website names are not italicized in the body of a paper. They should be written in regular font. Italicize the website name only if the source is a standalone publication, like a book or a report.

When directly quoting from a source in APA style, you should include the author's last name, the publication year, and the page number (if available) in parentheses immediately after the quote. For example: (Smith, 2019, p. 27). This helps readers locate the exact source of the quoted information.

To reference the movie "Silver Linings Playbook" in APA style, use the following format: Director's Last Name, First Initial(s). (Director). (Year). Title of the movie [Film]. Production Company. For example: O. Russell, D. (Director). (2012). Silver Linings Playbook [Film]. The Weinstein Company.

To reference an assessment in APA style, include the author of the assessment, year of publication, title of the assessment, format (if applicable), and the URL or DOI if available. For example: Author last name, Author initials. (Year). Title of assessment (Format). Retrieved from URL

When quoting yourself in APA format, use your last name followed by the year of the publication in parentheses. For example: (Doe, 2022). If you are citing from a specific source or publication, include the title of the work in the citation. Remember to be transparent about the source of the information to maintain academic integrity.

In APA format, the citation for Jared Diamond's book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" would be: Diamond, J. (1999). Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies. New York: W.W. Norton & Company.

Definitely. Search online for citation checkers. Some of them you can use online and some you can install in Word or your browser. They won't do it all for you, and you should learn the basics so that you can catch any mistakes, but they can definitely help you organize the information if you have it.

The mark that indicates where you want a page to end is typically called a "page break." It helps to control the layout and formatting of your document, ensuring that content flows properly from one page to the next.

To make a complaint against a psychologist associated with the American Psychological Association (APA), you can contact the APA Ethics Committee. Provide detailed information about your concerns and any evidence to support your complaint. The APA will review the complaint and take appropriate action according to their ethical guidelines and processes.

Common knowledge information does not need to be cited in a paper, as it is information that is widely known and accepted. However, if you are unsure whether something is common knowledge, it is always best to err on the side of caution and provide a citation to give credit to the original source.

In APA style, you should cite an author's name by including their last name followed by the first initial (and middle initial if available), separated by a comma. For example: Smith, J. If there are multiple authors, list them all in the same format, separating each author with a comma and an ampersand before the last author's name.

To reference the film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in APA style, the general format is: Title. (Year). Director. Production Company.

For example: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. (2002).​ Directed by Joel Zwick. Gold Circle Films.

Remember to italicize the film title.

A hanging indent results in subsequent lines of a paragraph being indented more than the first line. This is commonly used for reference lists or bibliographies to make the list easier to read.

The header "Noun and verb agreement" found on page 5 of the American Psychological Association Sample Paper is most likely at the level of a subheading or sub-section within a larger section discussing grammar and writing style conventions.

In my opinion, the APA Manual is contradictory (certainly not specific enough) on this topic. My answer to your question would be footnotes (and in instances tables and graphs because it may not make sense to double space and may be confusing). A direct quote from the related link (which is quoted from the APA Manual) is: "Double-spacing is required throughout most of the manuscript. When single-spacing would improve readability, however, it is usually encouraged. Single-spacing can be used for table titles and headings, figure captions, references (but double-spacing is required between references), footnotes, and long quotations [this is sometimes referred to as block spacing]" (APA, 2001, p. 326).
