APA Style was created by the American Psychological Association. It is a set of rules for formatting publications, including research papers. The formatting guidelines include specific rules for citing sources of information. The citations are in two parts: in-text citations in the body of your paper and full citations in the References list at the end of your paper.
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association by Margins: Add 1 inch margins on all sides.
Header: Starting with your title page, add page numbers at the top right corner of the page.
Line Spacing: Double-space your text.
Paragraph Alignment & Indentation: Indent the first line of each paragraph by 0.5 inch. Align your paragraphs to the left margin.
