Abstract

Abstracts are not usually required for student papers but check with your instructor to see if an abstract and or keywords are required for your assigned paper. If your instructor does not require an abstract, eliminate this page and begin the main text on this page. If an abstract is required replace this text with one short paragraph, roughly 150-250 words in length, that summarizes and notes the important points within the paper. The abstract allows the reader to quickly assess whether the article/book will be of use to them (in writing their paper and arguing their thesis). Please observe that unlike other paragraphs within the APA, the abstract paragraph is never indented. There is, however, a short notation of ‘keywords’ are indented after the abstract. These keywords briefly describe the important ideas in the paper and are used to guide online search engines or databases. A keywords addendum looks something like this:

Keywords: writing, template, seventh edition, APA format

The ‘body’ of the paper begins here. Please observe that each paragraph of the paper should be indented. Also, there is no extra spacing between the paragraphs or sections in the body of the paper. While this template gives you a start to formatting your paper in APA style, please see Purdue’ s Online Writing Lab for further guidance:

Citing your Sources

In-Text Citations

When writers share ideas that are from sources outside of their own, citation of the other sources are referenced in the APA paper with the author and year of publication in the same sentence (Purdue University, n.d.). Learn more details here:

Formatting the Reference Page(s)

The reference page lists different kinds of sources (book, websites, online articles, etc.) are each formatted differently on a new page at the end of the paper. One common reference format is an electronic source with one author, which is: Lastname, F. M. (Year, Month Date). Title of page. Site name. URL.
