APA Format
This section offers sample papers formatted according to the seventh edition of APA Style. These examples demonstrate the structure that authors should follow when submitting a manuscript to a professional journal, as well as the format students should use when submitting assignments for coursework. The Word files can be downloaded and customized as templates for your own work.
While most of the guidelines from the Publication Manual apply to both professional and student papers, there are specific differences, such as the title page format. Authors should always confirm with the individual or organization they are submitting to (e.g., publisher or instructor) for any additional or unique guidelines that may apply beyond APA Style.
